In elementary-particle physics as in most fields of science, advances in understanding are closely coupled to advances in technology. Machines of higher luminosity open opportunities for the observation of rare and unexpected processes while higher-…

The remarkable precision of LEP and other lepton colliders in the past has been instrumental in testing and understanding the Standard Model. In particular it was able to predict, by their effect on quantum corrections (a.k.a. ’loops’), the masses…
