The Large Hadron Collider (LHC)<\/strong>, a 27-kilometre circular accelerator, is the world\u2019s largest particle accelerator and is part of the CERN<\/strong> research centre near Geneva, Switzerland. In July 2012, the LHC experiments announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, opening a new era for particle physics.<\/p>

There is broad consensus in the high-energy physics community that the next major collider should include an electron-positron collider capable of performing precision measurements of the Higgs boson and other Standard Model particles: the so-called Higgs\/EW\/Top quark factories<\/strong>.<\/p>

The leading proposal in Europe is the Future Circular Collider (FCC)<\/strong> at CERN. Its first stage, FCC-ee<\/strong>, would be an electron-positron collider operating at several centre-of-mass energies and providing extremely large and clean samples of Z bosons, W bosons, Higgs bosons and top quarks. FCC-ee would enable unprecedented precision tests of the Standard Model and provide powerful indirect sensitivity to new physics. A later stage, FCC-hh<\/strong>, could extend the programme to proton-proton collisions at much higher energies.<\/p>

Complementary studies are also being pursued for a possible Linear Collider Facility (LCF) at CERN<\/strong>, based on linear electron-positron collider technologies. A linear collider would provide complementary capabilities, including tuneable collision energies and longitudinally polarised beams, allowing detailed studies of the Higgs sector, electroweak interactions and the chiral structure of fundamental interactions.<\/p>

Both circular and linear electron-positron colliders offer exceptionally clean experimental environments compared with hadron colliders, making them powerful tools for precision measurements and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Following the 2026 Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics<\/strong>, FCC-ee has been recommended as the preferred option for the next flagship collider at CERN<\/strong>. This recommendation builds on the extensive physics, detector and accelerator studies carried out over the last years, including the FCC Feasibility Study<\/strong>, completed in 2025.<\/p>

The focus of the community is therefore progressively moving from feasibility and comparative studies towards the implementation and preparation of the FCC-ee experimental programme<\/strong>. In particular, the current FCC Physics, Experiments and Detectors (PED) activities aim at converging on detector concepts, key technologies and the organisation of the future experiments. At the same time, the CERN-wide Detector R&D (DRD) programme<\/strong> provides the technological framework required to bring many of these detector technologies to the level needed for future collider experiments.<\/p>

The AITANA group is strongly involved in this new phase<\/strong>, with activities spanning detector R&D, detector concepts and physics studies. The group participates actively in several CERN DRD collaborations<\/strong>, with a particularly strong involvement in DRD Calo<\/strong>, as well as in the FCAL Collaboration<\/strong>, contributing to the development of highly granular and compact silicon calorimetry, forward detector systems and precision luminometry for future colliders.<\/p>

AITANA is also strongly involved in the ILD detector concept<\/strong>, which provides an advanced and mature framework for the development and optimisation of Particle Flow detector technologies relevant for future electron-positron colliders, including FCC-ee and the Linear Collider Facility (LCF)<\/strong>. A. Irles serves as Chair of the ILD Collaboration Board and member of the ILD Executive Team<\/strong>, following previous responsibilities within the physics and software coordination team.<\/p>

These complementary activities allow the AITANA group to contribute directly to the transition from detector R&D and physics-performance studies towards the design and implementation of the next generation of experiments at CERN<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
