Description
The US has been a very productive contributor to hardware and computing at LHC and in the HL-LHC upgrades owing to the indispensable synergy between universities and national labs. There are numerous examples of HL-LHC upgrade projects for ATLAS and CMS with tight coordination between the two. Often the labs have highly specialized facilities (e.g. SiDet at FNAL) where lab and university faculty can both participate in cutting edge fabrication and construction of new detectors. On the other hand, national labs can support faculty pursuing on-site production with expertise. In either type of partnership, the success of FCC-ee could be defined by US support of labs and universities that leverages on on-going partnerships for detector design, construction, development, and commissioning. Moreover, the access to CERN facilities and collaborators has been beneficial to me and many of my colleagues at the LHC (and LEP before that), and I hope that my students and their students will get that opportunity as well at FCC.
