Mandate
• At appropriate intervals, at most every 5 years, the
European Strategy Session of Council will re-enact the
process aimed at updating the medium and long-term
European Strategy for Particle Physics, by setting up a
Working Group, the European Strategy Group (ESG),
similar to the Strategy Group in 2005/2006.
• The ESG will be a Working Group of Council which will
cease to exist each time Council has adopted the new
medium and long-term Strategy.

European Strategy for PP
Timetable
Pre-town meetings within disciplines, before summer 2012
General Town Meeting in Krakow, September 10-12, 2012
Briefing book will be written by the Preparatory Group and Scientific Secretaries of the sessions,
summarizing the outputs of the symposium.
Briefing book will be the scientific input for the Strategy Group for the drafting of the Strategy.
Preparation of Strategy drafting session: CERN 11 december
Strategy drafting session by the Strategy Group in January 21-26 2013 in ERICE, Sicily.
Strategy on scientific and other issues-> Draft for Strategy statements and deliberation document.
Draft strategy will be submitted to the CERN Council for the March 2013 session for discussion.
Formal adoption of the strategy in a special Council session in Brussels in May 2013 (22 or 23)
(coincides with EU council of ministers competitiveness meeting). Outreach event 1 week later?
1) Strategy statement, 2) deliberation document, 3) brochure

Some initial observations/conclusions.
Direct-search of new particles at High Energy Frontier and Indirect-search of new physics, i.e. precision measurements at any
energy machines to study rare processes looking for a deviation from the Standard Model calculations,are providing fruitful complementary results.
But no compelling sign of New Physics so far. Continue pushing at two fronts is essential.
Discovery of “Higgs” like boson at LHC opens a new line of indirect-search: precision measurement of “Higgs” properties.
Is LHC alone enough or a new facility also needed? Linear or Circular e+e colliders, Circular μ+μ collider γ-γ collider based on circular e storage rings
A high energy frontier machine (VLHC etc.) needs more input: from LHC run @ 13~14 TeV e.g.
Some of the astropartice projects are addressing particle physics questions:
– proton decays, , direct search of dark matter, neutrino-less double beta decays
A facility for a long baseline neutrino detector share common interests between astropartice physics and particle physics (both accelerator and nonaccelerator based)
Major challenges in neutrino physics: mass hierarchy, precision measurement of the mixing parameters (in particular the CP violation phase), sterile
neutrinos.
European neutrino community presented
– CERN SPS long baseline neutrino beam to Finland with a massive liquid Ar detector for the mass hierarchy and mixing parameter measurements
ApPEC joint coordination?
– CERN SPS short baseline neutrino beam for sterile neutrino search, with exiting detector moving from GSNL to CERN
– Neutrino factory for ultimate precision measurements of the mixing parameters for a longer term future.
USA vision based on cosmology-astropartice programme and long baseline neutrino programme, followed by physics with multi-MW proton driver.
JAPAN community pushes 250-500 GeV linear e+e collider with a hope to start data taking before 2030, and Hyper Kamiokande water Cherenkov (or
liquid-Ar in Okinoshima) detector for JPARC neutrino beam with a hope to start construction in ~2018, while SuperKEKB construction is in progress.
Upgrade of ALICE and with a plan to run till 2026 is the highest priority of the European Heavy Ion community.
