===== Description=====
The Energy Frontier (EF) group will explore the TeV energy scale and beyond. Our sharply focussed agenda includes understanding the heaviest particles of the Standard Model (SM), as well as exploring physics beyond the SM to discover new particles and interactions, including unraveling the mystery of dark matter.  In this context, the EF group will carry out (and compile) detailed studies of  **Electroweak (EW) physics, QCD and strong interactions, and  Beyond-Standard-Model (BSM) physics** under different future accelerator scenarios, including lepton-lepton, hadron-hadron, and lepton-hadron colliders.

In more detail, the EF group will investigate the reach and  future prospects of  **EW physics, with emphasis on the Higgs sector**, such as  Higgs-boson properties and couplings, Higgs boson as a portal to new physics, as well as Standard Model gauge-bosons scattering and production,  and how they can be fed into precision EW fits to constrain new physics in a more model-independent way.  As part of the EF portfolio, there will be studies of top-, bottom-, and charm-quark production. The impact of higher-order EW corrections in high-energy collisions will be an overarching theme that will cut across all precision studies.

In the context of **QCD physics,** the EF group will study how cutting-edge developments in higher-order perturbative QCD calculations and jet structure description can enhance precision physics  and  the reach for  new physics at high-energy colliders, with particular emphasis on future scenarios. In addition, prospect measurements of the strong coupling constant and its running, as well as quark masses will be tackled. As in previous hadron colliders, we expect that several precision QCD measurements, e.g. W/Z(+jets), will be used in future hadron colliders as inputs to global PDF fits.  Monte Carlo event generators will be very important in any future collider and we expect developments in the event generations, in terms of higher orders in QCD and EW calculations as well as in the computational techniques. In the QCD sector, we will also study hadronic structures, hadron spectroscopy,  and forward QCD physics. We expect that results from lattice QCD calculations will provide valuable inputs in several QCD studies.  In parallel, we will study prospects for heavy-ion physics at future colliders, with particular emphasis on the impact that this will have on the physics program of the EF.

 An important part of the EF group effort will be dedicated to studies of **physics beyond the Standard Model**, both in a model-dependent and in a model-independent way. Examples of the first category are searches for SUSY, composite models, extended scalar sectors, FCNC, rare top decays, and rare H decays in specific models, while example of the second category are MET signatures, new bosons, new fermions, long-lived particle searches, and studies of general effective-field-theory interactions induced by unknown BSM physics. Dark matter and dark sector searches are at the core of a large fraction of BSM searches at colliders and will play a major role in the BSM physics studies of the EF.

These topics are divided into the following 3 categories that comprise of 10 topical groups with two or three convenors each:

===== Table of Colliders Options   =====

Here follows a Table with a list of collider scenarios considered in the Energy Frontier proceedings, including center of mass energies, integrated luminosities and beam polarization. This list is by no means exhaustive, but is intended to provide a common basis for studies across the Energy Frontier such that they can be compared based on common assumptions on basic accelerator parameters.
