In the upcoming generation of collider experiments, such as the proposed Linear Collider Higgs Factory, precise measurement of particle flow (PF) is pivotal for enhancing the energy resolution of jets, which consist of numerous hadrons observed in the final state. To achieve this, we focus on equipping fine-segmented electromagnetic calorimeters with high-precision time measurement...
The AWAKE project at CERN makes use of plasma to transfer energy from the SPS proton beam to a short witness beam of electrons. We here give an overview of the project, from the exploitation of beam-plasma instabilities to generate large accelerating fields, to the next stages of the project, which will demonstrate sustained accelerating gradients and control of the witness bunch emittance. ...
For the success of the International Linear Collider (ILC), it is crucial for the project to be accepted and integrated within the local communities. This requires close cooperation between the ILC Laboratory and the surrounding municipalities to develop "next-generation city planning initiatives triggered by the ILC" that bring extensive and diverse value to the region. Furthermore, it is...
Dark Matter being electrically neutral does not participate in electromagnetic interactions at leading order. However, we discuss here fermionic dark matter (DM) with permanent magnetic and electric dipole moment that interacts electromagnetically with photons at loop-level through a dimension-5 operator.

The BELLA Center has been pursuing laser and laser-plasma accelerator (LPA) research for high energy physics. One of the ultimate goals is to provide a building block for future linear colliders. At the flagship 1-Hz 1-PW laser facility, the development of a 10-GeV class LPA module is ongoing, and such modules in series are envisioned as the path to a high energy collider at TeV energies and...
Neutrino oscillation is a phenomenon where the neutrino oscillates between its flavor states while propagating. This comes as a result of neutrino flavor states being eigenstates of the weak interaction Hamiltonian but not of the propagation Hamiltonian. The latter possesses different eigenstates called the mass states. The change of basis between these states is described by a unitary matrix...
Transformers are one of the recent big achievements of machine learning, which enables realistic communication on natural language processing such as ChatGPT, as well as being applied to many other fields such as image processing. The basic concept of a Transformer is to learn relation between two objects by an attention mechanism. This structure is especially efficient with large input...
The existence of dark matter is currently one of the strong motivations for beyond the standard model. We consider the model of the composite dark matter. Our model assumes that meson-like dark matter (call it dark mesons) is a bounded state of dark quark ($\psi$) and anti-dark quark ($\bar{\psi}$) pairs, where $\psi$ and $\bar{\psi}$ have a confining force at work. Confining force is based on...
We have developed the energy calibration method by using the machine learning for the ILC EM calorimeter (ECAL), a sampling calorimeter consisting with Silicon-Tungsten layers.
In this method, we use deep neural network (DNN) to get the energy of the incident particle (energy calibration), as a regression problem,
to improve the energy calibration resolution of ECAL.
We have developed the...

And in parallel, to mitigate the risks associated with the...
We study Majorana Right Handed Neutrinos (RHN) production at ILC. Various extensions of the SM aim to explain the origin of the tiny neutrino mass; one of them is by the introduction of RHN. When we assume that RHN is a Majorana particle, RHN pair production is allowed in e−e+ collisions. We focus on this RHN pair production based on a minimal U(1)B−L model. A distinctive signature is a pair...

We study the W pair production at future lepton colliders. For the production of longitudinally polarized W bosons, it is well known that large gauge cancellation occurs among the amplitudes, especially at high energies, because of the energy growth of each amplitude. In this study, we adopt a recently-proposed gauge fixing, so-called Feynman-Diagram gauge and revisit the process to show such...
Minimal dark matter is one of the most motivated dark matter candidates, and many analyses at collider experiments for this model have been discussed. In our work, we considered the search for minimal dark matter at future high-energy lepton collider experiments. We found that the indirect search, which measures the quantum correction to the muon elastic scattering, is much more sensitive than...

Some say SUSY is dead, because LHC has not discovered it yet. But is this
really true? It turns out that the story is more subtle. SUSY can be 'just
around the corner', even if no signs of it has been found and a closer
look is needed to quantify the impact of LHC limits and their implications
for future colliders. Here, a scan of the relevant parameter space of
(weak-scale) SUSY...
We study possible CP-violation effects of the Higgs to $Z$-boson coupling
at a future $e^+ e^-$ collider, e.g. the International Linear Collider (ILC). We find that the azimuthal angular distribution of the muon pair, produced by $e^+ e^- \rightarrow H Z -> H \mu^+ \mu^-$, can be sensitive to such a CP-violation effect when we apply initial transversely polarized beams. Based on this angular...
Several future collider experiments are proposed for precise measurement of Higgs that require calorimeter technology with excellent jet energy resolution.

Recently ATLAS and CMS published search results in the search for SUSY particle production channel $pp \to \tilde\chi_2^0 \tilde\chi^\pm_1$ in three different final states ($3l$, $2l$ and mono-jet). All searches in both experiments show consistent (small) excesses for $m_{\tilde\chi^0_2} \approx m_{\tilde\chi^\pm_1} \approx m_{\tilde\chi^0_1} + 20$ GeV. We discuss these excesses and their...
Final states with spin-correlations allow the measurement of quantum entanglement at collider energies. The $H\to\tau\tau$ process is an excellent probe for this, due to the scalar nature of the Higgs boson, and the direct access to the $\tau$-lepton helicity through the angular distributions of the $\tau$-lepton decay products. We will present the prospects of such a measurement a future...

Considering the design challenges of the STCF collider ring, swap-out injection has been suggested as one of...
The future e+e- colliders offer excellent facilities for SUSY searches.

The prospects for discovering stau-pair production at...

This talk might be a introduction to the several related topics by colleagues working on the project.
We study a search for the charged Higgs boson via $e^+e^− \to H^+H^− \to c\bar b\bar cb$ at the 500 GeV ILC. In a general two Higgs doublet model without $Z_2$ symmetry, extra Yukawa couplings $\rho_{tc}$ and $\rho_{tt}$ can drive electroweak baryogenesis, but searches at the HL-LHC may still go empty-handed if the couplings are relatively weak. Taking $m_{H^+} \simeq m_H \simeq$ $m_A\simeq...

b \bar{s}, \gamma \gamma, g g in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM)
with general quark flavor violation (QFV) due to squark generation mixings,
identifying the h as the Higgs boson with a mass of 125 GeV. We compute the widths

using the tune of the OPAL experiment at LEP.
In this contribution, we test the next-to-leading-order (NLO) mode of Whizard.
NLO events of $e^+e^-\to q\bar{q}$...
Beam-beam interactions constitute an important source of background at any electron-positron ($e^{+}e^{-}$) collider, generating the so-called beam-induced background (BIB), with important implications for the design and optimization of detectors at these machines and, ultimately, their physics reach. In this talk, we will present the latest results on the evaluation of the BIB at the Cool...
Although the Higgs boson has been discovered, the couplings with the Higgs boson have room for deviation from the Standard Model (SM) prediction. Each extended Higgs model is characterized by its Higgs potential. Nearly aligned models where the shape of the Higgs potential is described by one classical field include the classical scale invariance model (CSI), the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone model,...
We present the design of an APS cavity for the capture linac of the ILC E-driven positron source. It is required to accelerate a high-current multi-bunch positron beam in this positron source. Therefore, beam loading compensation and managing the heat load exceeding 10 kW due to electromagnetic showers generated at the target are important issues. We have designed a 21-cell APS accelerator,...
The origins of tiny neutrino mass, dark matter and baryon asymmetry of the Universe remain big mysteries in particle physics. To explain all these phenomena, a new physics model with a Higgs sector extended at the TeV scale was proposed by Aoki, Kanemura and Seto. However, CPV phases were neglected for simplicity, and the baryon number production via electroweak baryogenesis had not been...

Some types of LLPs can be indentified by kinked tracks. The Time Projection Chamber (TPC) being designed for ILD at ILC provides almost continuous tracking. This should give excellent potential for kink finding. I will review the current kink finder algorithm, and present a new kink finding method.
Many new physics scenarios render a low mass scalar candidate. I will briefly discuss the current status of such models, and give an short overview on current studies for such models at Higgs factories, including efforts within the ongoing ECFA effort.

The high luminosity specifications for future linear colliders, such as the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC), require extremely small vertical beam emittance at the interaction point. Achieving this relies on minimizing the emittance growth in the collider sub-systems. One major source of emittance growth is in the Main Linac, mainly due to misaligned quadrupoles and accelerating structures. The...
Several searches for Higgs bosons below 125 GeV show an excess around $m_\phi = 95.4$ GeV. These include in particular $gg \to \phi \to \gamma\gamma$ at CMS and ATLAS and $e^+e^- \to Z^* \to Z (\phi \to b \bar b)$ at LEP. We discuss BSM Higgs sectors that can accommodate these excesses. We demonstrate that such a light Higgs boson can be analyzed in detail at $e^+e^-$ colliders.

The identification of certain charged hadron species, e.g. Kaons and protons, plays an important role in many physics analyses. Time-of-flight measurements can contribute to identifying these particles if both the length of the flight path as well as the time of arrival can be determined with sufficient precision. This contribution will discuss the recent progress on both aspects, and in...

As a first step, we designed and fabricated...
During the development of the NLC/JLC normal conducting X-band linear colliders, it became clear that the RF power flow in traveling wave accelerating structures correlates more with the RF breakdown rate than with the peak electric fields. To mitigate the adverse effects of RF power flow, low group velocity and standing wave accelerating structures optimized for lower RF input power have been...
The physics program of the Higgs factory will focus on measurements of the 125 GeV Higgs boson, with the Higgs-strahlung process being the dominant production channel at 250 GeV. However, production of extra light scalars is still not excluded by the existing experimental data, provided their coupling to the gauge bosons is sufficiently suppressed. Fermion couplings of such a scalar could also...
Parton showers are important tools in the event generation chain for future collider. Recently, their formally achieved accuracy has been under extended scrutiny.

The Hybrid Asymmetric Linear Higgs Factory (HALHF) proposes a shorter and cheaper alternative for a future Higgs factory. The design includes a 500 GeV electron beam accelerated by an electron-driven plasma wake-field, and a conventionally-accelerated 31 GeV positron beam. Assuming plasma acceleration R&D challenges are solved in a timely manner, the asymmetry of the collisions brings...
To explain the baryon asymmetry in the universe a First Order Electroweak Phase Transition (FOEWPT) in the early universe is favored. This requires a BSM Higgs sector, which introduces additional Higgs bosons as well as the corresponding additional trilinear Higgs couplings (THCs). Taking the 2HDM as a concrete example, we discuss how such BSM THCs might be accessible at the ILC/CLIC via...
Future colliders will require injector linacs to accelerate large electron bunches over a wide range of energies. For example the Electron Ion Collider requires a pre-injector linac from 4 MeV up to 400 MeV over 35 m. Currently this linac is being designed with 3 m long traveling wave structures, which provide a gradient of 16 MV/m. We propose the use of a 1 m distributed coupling design as a...
