Descrizione del progetto

Rendere la fabbrica di Higgs un’impresa globale

Come massima priorità della fisica delle particelle, una fabbrica di Higgs è un acceleratore di particelle progettato per produrre bosoni di Higgs a un ritmo molto elevato. Il bosone di Higgs (scoperto nel 2012) è l’ultima particella mancante del modello standard della fisica delle particelle. In questo contesto, il programma di sviluppo e scambio di acceleratori Europa-America-Giappone fungerà da rete di formazione e scambio di personale per la ricerca e lo sviluppo sugli acceleratori nell’ambito della fisica delle particelle elementari. Con il sostegno del programma di azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie, il progetto EAJADE mobiliterà gli scambi internazionali di personale come veicolo per incrementare efficacemente il progresso tecnico, sfruttare le strutture in tutto il mondo, creare opportunità di formazione uniche e costruire solide collaborazioni con scienziati giapponesi e americani e con partner industriali in Europa.

Obiettivo

EAJADE is a training and staff exchange network for accelerator R&D within elementary particle physics. The recent update of the European strategy for particle physics emphasises the need for a “Higgs factory” — a lepton collider able to study the Higgs boson in detail. Such a machine is both a precision instrument and a discovery machine for potentially groundbreaking physics.
All Higgs factory proposals require wide international collaboration for their implementation and 5-10 years of design refinements and technical developments before construction. The relevant expertise and infrastructures are globally distributed, and a wide interdisciplinary and inter-sectorial network is essential to make progress and train future experts in the field.
EAJADE makes use of international staff exchanges as a vehicle to efficiently boost technical progress, exploit facilities world-wide, create unique training opportunities, and build strong collaborations with Japanese and American scientists, and with industry partners in Europe.
Accelerator R&D and the realisation of future machines like a Higgs factory are truly global endeavours relying on expertise in a broad set of fields and a number of state-of-the-art technologies. Future facilities also need to carefully address their CO2 footprint, study the use of renewable energy sources and of energy efficiency, and aim to become models of sustainability. These challenges require intersectoral efforts and development of best practices.
EAJADE is expected to lead to important and innovative advances for accelerators and the related high-tech industry, with substantial benefits also for other disciplines where accelerators are about to become key instruments. It will also help develop a more performant and sustainable European knowledge-based economy, by providing top-level training to many physicists and engineers, and through the efforts to reduce the energy consumption of accelerator technology used in numerous facilities.
