We outline the opportunities to study the production of the Standard Model bosons,W±,Z0, andH0, at “low” energies at fixed-target experiments based on possible future ultrahigh-energy proton colliders, that is, the High-Energy LHC, the Super proton-proton Collider, and the Future Circular Collider hadron-hadron. These can be indeed made in conjunction with the proposed future colliders designed to reach up tos=100 TeV by using bent crystals to extract part of the halo of the beam which would then impinge on a fixed target. Without disturbing the collider operation, this technique allows for the extraction of a substantial amount of particles in addition to serving for a beam-cleaning purpose. With this method, high-luminosity fixed-target studies at centre-of-mass energies above theW±,Z0, andH0masses,s≃170–300 GeV, are possible. We also discuss the possibility offered by an internal gas target, which can also be used as luminosity monitor by studying the beam transverse shape.


After attempting to give a simple description of the various techniques associated with the use of bubble-chambers as tools for research at a high-energy proton synchrotron, a short account will be given of some of the results obtained recently with this technique by European groups working at the C.E.R.N. proton synchrotron. During recent years the operation of the C. E. R. N. proton synchrotron has been remarkably efficient; physicists using the machine have taken it for granted that, day after day, 4 to 5 x 10 11 protons would strike their targets every 2 s with very little lost time. All experiments at C.E.R.N. depend upon the high skill of the engineers and technicians who have constructed an immaculate machine.
