Physics Potential and Opportunities Subgroup (WG3)

Mandate

The Physics Potential and Opportunities subgroup fosters studies of the ILC’s physics case outside and across the detector concept groups, including beyond-collider possibilities. In particular this group supports individuals and groups to become newly active in ILC physics. The physics group initiates and coordinates (a) a number of topical groups with open participation, giving a forum for collaboration and discussion between theorists and experimentalists; and (b) task forces dedicated to specific questions, preparing the physics input to upcoming decisions on the ILC accelerator design, and on detector technology choices. Task forces will be common efforts with the other subgroups of IDT-WG3 on interface to the accelerator, detector R&D and Software, depending on the topic. The physics group ensures the connection to, and ILC representation in, relevant particle physics community initiatives (ECFA Higgs Factory Study, Snowmass, …) and documents the ILC physics potential.
