ERL e+ e- Collider

ORAL

Abstract

The study of Higgs boson and searches for Beyond Standard Model physics are major topics of research in particle physics today. $\text{e^+ e^-}$ colliders provide a cleaner channel to study particle interactions and would complement LHC and other particle colliders in operation. The Energy Recovering Linac (ERL) $\text{e^+ e^-}$ collider is a high energy design for an $\text{e^+ e^-}$ collider that can potentially achieve center of mass beam energies of up to 600 GeV. This allows access to double Higgs and $\text{t\bar{t}H}$ production channels and hence, provides a way to perform higher precision studies of Higgs self-coupling and top Yukawa coupling among other electroweak parameters. The ERL design also boasts a more energy efficient method of reaching higher energies and higher luminosities compared to other $\text{e^+ e^-}$ collider designs. Additionally, ERL $\text{e^+ e^-}$ collider also provides access to polarization of the beams as a variable to study its effects on particle interactions such as the yield of di-higgs events.
