The purpose of this article is to outline the development of particle colliders from their inception just over a half-century ago, expand on today's achievements, and remark on the potential of coming years. There are three main sections, entitled "Past," "Present," and "Future." "Past" starts with the electron and electron–positron colliders of the 1950s, continues through the proton rings at CERN, and concludes with LEP. Technology development enters the section Present, "which includes not only the major colliders in both the lepton and baryon worlds, but also recognition of the near-immediate entry of the Large Hadron Collider. "Future" looks at the next potential steps, the most prominent of which is an electron–positron partner to the LHC, but there are other very interesting propositions undergoing exploration that include muon storage and even conceivably departure from reliance on radio frequency acceleration.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) began 7 TeV C.M. energy operation in April, 2010. The CMS experiment immediately analyzed the earliest data taken in order to "rediscover" the Standard Model (SM) of high energy physics. By the late summer, all SM particles were observed and CMS began to search for physics beyond the SM and beyond the present limits set at the Fermilab Tevatron. The first LHC run ended in Dec., 2010 with a total integrated luminosity of about 45 pb-1 delivered to the experiments.

Dark matter remains one of the most puzzling mysteries in Fundamental Physics of our times. Experiments at high-energy physics colliders are expected to shed light to its nature and determine its properties. This review focuses on recent searches for dark matter signatures at the Large Hadron Collider, also discussing related prospects in future e+e- colliders.

Accurate and fast simulation of particle physics processes is crucial for the high-energy physics community. Simulating particle interactions with the detector is both time consuming and computationally expensive. With its proton-proton collision energy of 13 TeV, the Large Hadron Collider is uniquely positioned to detect and measure the rare phenomena that can shape our knowledge of new interactions. The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HLLHC) upgrade will put a significant strain on the computing infrastructure and budget due to increased event rate and levels of pile-up. Simulation of highenergy physics collisions needs to be significantly faster without sacrificing the physics accuracy. Machine learning approaches can offer faster solutions, while maintaining a high level of fidelity. We introduce a graph generative model that provides effiective reconstruction of LHC events on the level of calorimeter deposits and tracks, paving the way for full detector level fast simulation.

The demise of the SSC in the U.S. created an upheaval in the U.S. high energy physics (HEP) community. The subsequent redirection of HEP efforts to the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can perhaps be seen as informing on possible future paths for worldwide collaboration on future HEP megaprojects.

The automation of one-loop amplitudes plays a key role in addressing several computational challenges for hadron collider phenomenology: They are needed for simulations including next-to-leading-order corrections, which can be large at hadron colliders. They also allow the exact computation of loop-induced processes. A high degree of automation has now been achieved in public codes that do not require expert knowledge and can be widely used in the high-energy physics community. In this article, we review many of the methods and tools used for the different steps of automated one-loop amplitude calculations: renormalization of the Lagrangian, derivation and evaluation of the amplitude, its decomposition onto a basis of scalar integrals and their subsequent evaluation, as well as computation of the rational terms.

The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) at CERN will constitute a new frontier for the particle physics after the year 2027. Experiments will undertake a major upgrade in order to stand this challenge: the use of innovative sensors and electronics will have a main role in this. This paper describes the recent developments in 65 nm CMOS technology for readout ASIC chips in future High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments. These allow unprecedented performance in terms of speed, noise, power consumption and granularity of the tracking detectors.
