This is the third community drafting day for the 2026 European Strategy for Particle Physics Update (ESPPU). This will discuss further updates to the UK's national input following the deadline for community submissions on 31st March 2025. This meeting will discuss in detail:
- Updated information from project submissions.
- Prioritisation of alternative options (q3c and q3e) under various scenarios that might deem FCC unfeasible.
- Possible prioritisation of non-collider options.
Additional topics will likely be brought up for discussion following comments raised on the first draft of the UK's national input (available here: https://indico.stfc.ac.uk/event/1434/ ).
To support the discussion and contribute to the development of the UK's input to the ESPPU, the community was invited to complete a survey. The results, reflecting responses from 185 participants, are provided in the attachment below.
Please note the discussions will run from 11am-5pm with arrival coffee available from 10.30am.
Please bring Photo ID with on the day
