New physics search at the CEPC: a general perspective
The Circular Electron-Positron Collider (CEPC), a proposed next-generation Higgs factory, provides new opportunities to explore physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). With its clean electron-positron collision environment and the ability to collect large samples of Higgs, W, and Z bosons, the CEPC enables precision measurements and searches for new physics. This white paper outlines the CEPC's discovery potential, including studies of exotic decays of the Higgs, Z, and top quarks, dark matter and dark sector phenomena, long-lived particles, supersymmetry, and neutrino-related signatures. Advanced detector technologies and reconstruction techniques, such as one-to-one correspondence reconstruction and jet origin identification, significantly improve sensitivity to rare and weakly interacting processes. The CEPC is particularly well suited to probe the electroweak phase transition and test models of electroweak baryogenesis and dark sector interactions. In addition, global fit analyses highlight the CEPC's complementary role in constraining a wide range of new physics scenarios. These features position the CEPC as a powerful tool for exploring the next frontier in fundamental particle physics in the post-Higgs discovery era

QuIC Business Community Summit
The QBC Summit is the annual gathering of the European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC). The event brings together members and affiliates of QuIC as well as select guests and invited speakers in an intimate setting. Over the course of two days, participants get to network with one another, exchange views on key strategic topics, and engage in discussion rounds aimed at advancing Europe’s leadership in quantum technologies. This year, the Summit is hosted by CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. The official program takes place on 26–27 November, featuring exciting panel sessions, renowned speakers, and exclusive site visits. On the eve of the Summit (25 November), CERN will showcase its CERN Quantum Technology Initiative, offering early arrivals a chance to ease into the event and connect informally
Talk-for-Guides: ELISA - the proton accelerator installed in Science Gateway
(Photograph: Pralavorio, Corinne)
ELISA is the small accelerator in Science Gateway, a unique visitor attraction and much more!
Serge Mathot, an applied physicist at CERN who was responsible for the mechanical fabrication of the LINAC4 RFQ (Radio Frequency Quadrupole) and who now leads the ELISA project, will give us insights into the design of the ELISA accelerator, its public demonstrations, and its applications in surface analysis.
The talk will take ~45 min. with time for questions afterwards.
The location has been changed from Globe to Auditorium C in Science Gateway. You can just enter through the Science Gateway reception and the bridge, as usual.
Presentation in English | A recording is planned (no live zoom event)
