Talks (non-conference)

Muon colliders have been recently regained a lot of interest, pointed out in the US Strategy process in 2023 (P5 report). They combine both the amazing cleanliness and precision of lepton collisions with the energy range of 10 TeV "parton level" collisions. [...]

A muon collider of 3, 6, or 10 TeV is considered one of the most interesting collider optionsat the energy frontier in HEP. In this talk I will present the collider concept and elucidate itsdiscovery potential with a focus on some prime examples, like anomalous mass generationmechanisms for muons, Z' bosons and heavy neutral leptons. [...]

I will outline the current status of parton distribution functions in the context of the LHC. This will include the developments, state of the art and consequences for phenomenology now and in the future, emphasising their importance for the current and future particle physics program. [...]

I will discuss theoretical uncertainties arising from missing higher orders, these play an increasingly important role in our interpretation of precision LHC physics. In this context I will introduce the novel method of Theoretical ``Nuisance'' Parameters whereby missing higher order pieces are directly parameterised and varied to probe the theoretical uncertainty.
