Abstract

This chapter includes a short introduction on colliders with their main figure of merit, the luminosity, and the pile-up in the experiments' detectors, followed by seven sections, offering an overview of the different types of colliders used for particle physics experiments, which have been discussed during the past JUAS schools:

  • LHC and HL-LHC,
  • Nuclear collisions at the LHC,
  • The Future CERN Circular hadron collider (FCC-hh),
  • Electron-positron circular colliders,
  • Future high-energy linear lepton colliders,
  • The US Electron-Ion Collider,
  • Muon collider.
