Options for Future Facilities

A variety of projects that could extend the energy frontier up to or beyond the LHC are in various stages of development in the United States and abroad. Possibilities include electron-positron colliders operating in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 TeV, muon colliders operating in the range of 0.5 to 4.0 TeV, and very large hadron colliders with energies in the range of 50 to 100 TeV. Any such facility would be required to support a factor of about 100 increase in luminosity relative to current achievements. These possibilities are summarized in Table 6.3. All facilities listed are likely to have associated construction costs measured in excess of $1 billion. Cost efficiencies in manufacturing, installation, and operations are a major concern of the development efforts for each.
