A hybrid, asymmetric, linear Higgs factory based on plasma-wakefield and radio-frequency acceleration

Journal article

An electron-positron collider designed for precision studies of the Higgs boson, a so-called Higgs factory is the highest-priority next collider of the particle physics community. This contribution summarises the key physics goals of such a Higgs factory and reviews the status of the various proposed realisations from mature concepts to very recent ideas. The commonalities and special advantages of circular and linear approaches will be discussed, respectively, before highlighting some recent developments regarding the key technologies, the operation scenarios and sustainability aspects for future colliders.Comment: 9 pages, contribution to proceedings of EPS-HEP 202
