Hadron-Hadron Collider:
Investigate and document both standard model (SM) and beyond
the standard model (BSM) processes of interest for a VLHC and
an upgraded LHC. Exotic physics, a representative sample of more
'standard' BSM, and 'regular' processes shouldall be considered.
Contrast these processes to those possible from an LHC high
luminosity decade. The charge specifically suggests 30-40 TeV
and 100-200 TeV center-of-mass energy range.
Lepton-Hadron Collider:
Investigate and document SM and BSM processes for a 1-1.5 TeV
ep collider. Constrast with the results of a mature HERA (1 fb^-1)
and a SLHC/VLHC (where appropriate). Investigate the physics
potential of a i) 250 GeV (e) x 20 TeV (p) collider and ii) 500 GeV
x 87.5 TeV.
