FCC-ee collider, here we go! 🧪
🧵 Big news for particle physics this week, and honestly for me personally too.
The CERN Council has officially adopted the updated European Strategy for Particle Physics — and the recommendation is clear: FCC-ee is the preferred next flagship collider after the LHC. 1/6

Fun trip to Fermilab to give a plenary on a FCC-ee future for CERN at DPF2026. FCC-ee + a US based muon collider could lead to a revolutionary century for science and technology!⚛️🧪

What collider do early career particle physicists in the US want?
We surveyed 100+, check out our input to the European strategy to find out!
Short answer : Lots of variety of opinion, but highest enthusiasm for a @muoncollider.bsky.social

You may wonder what happens next: CERN has until 2028 to develop a financially feasible funding plan, after which the Council, which is essentially all the science ministries of CERN countries, will make a final go/no-go decision on the FCC-ee project. 5/6

Spectacular news! Theyre gonna build the FCC-ee Higgs factory to learn all we can about the central puzzle piece of the Standard Model!
But make no mistake: this will be viciously attacked by populists and it's our job as lovers of science to fight back against the rising tide of incurious cynicism

FCC-ee would be an electron-positron “Higgs factory that would produce millions of Higgs bosons in clean collisions, letting us measure it with a precision the LHC simply can't match. We’re talking about probing whether the Higgs is exactly what the Standard Model predicts 3/6

I have a personal connection to this milestone. About 8 years ago I was a convener on the FCC-ee physics studies, back when this was still very much a long-term dream. Being so close to this process from just a crazy idea to a CERN Council decision is very exciting 4/6
