Explore the future of particle physics through this colloquium examining the critical role of next-generation colliders in advancing fundamental knowledge at the energy frontier. Learn about the triumphant history of colliders in constructing the Standard Model and discover the major open questions currently facing particle physics that provide compelling motivation for successors to the Large Hadron Collider. Delve into the profound scientific justification for building new accelerator facilities to uncover both deeper understanding of the Standard Model itself and the more fundamental theories that underlie it. Focus particularly on a revolutionary new type of accelerator complex: the high-energy muon collider, which represents a qualitatively different approach to particle acceleration. Understand how such a facility, potentially located at Fermilab, would powerfully complement experiments across all frontiers of particle physics research and establish a convergent pathway for future discoveries in fundamental physics.
