Abstract

As a matter of fact, accelerators are a common facility for particle physics research contemporarily. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements and experimental proposals in the field of particle accelerators. Particle accelerators have been instrumental in major breakthroughs in modern physics, such as the discovery of the Higgs boson, and are continually evolving to address unsolved questions in fundamental physics, including dark matter and beyond the Standard Model phenomena. The review focuses on cutting-edge technologies such as the Future Circular Collider (FCC) and advancements in high-intensity radiation sources, like X-ray free-electron lasers. Despite the impressive contributions of current facilities, significant challenges remain regarding their size, cost, and energy requirements. Addressing these limitations, emerging innovations such as plasma wakefield accelerators and spin-polarized beams show promise in making future accelerators more compact, cost-effective, and accessible. The paper aims to bridge current technological progress with the future potential of particle accelerators, offering insights into how they might continue to advance the understanding of the universe while overcoming their inherent challenges.
