Muon colliders offer a unique path to multi-TeV, high luminosity lepton collisions. Muon collisions with a center-of-mass energy of 10 TeV or above would offer significant discovery potential where the constituent collision energies exceed those of the LHC program by an order of magnitude. Significant progress on the fundamental R&D and design concepts for such a machine has led to a new international effort to assemble a conceptual design within the next few years. This effort will assess the viability of such a machine as a successor to the LHC program. The remaining challenges and the R&D required to deliver a complete machine description will be described.

HEP-Astro Seminar | Astrophysics and Cosmology with LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA’s Black Holes (April 15, 2024 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/120293 120293-21844516@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 15, 2024 3:00pm

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration has observed over 70 gravitational-wave sources to date, including mergers between black holes, neutron stars, and mixed neutron star—black holes. These neutron stars and black holes connect many astrophysical puzzles, including the lives and deaths of stars, cosmic chemistry, and the growth of structure. Furthermore, gravitational waves from these mergers directly encode their distances, allowing us to measure the expansion history of the Universe. I will describe some astrophysical and cosmological lessons from the latest gravitational-wave discoveries, and discuss what we can expect to learn from future multi-messenger observations.
