Description
A 10 TeV scale collider is crucial to unravel the mysteries of the universe. However, we must urgently invest in growing the US accelerator workforce in order to build any proposed future collider. Many experimental particle physicists have become interested in pursuing collider R&D in order to help our accelerator colleagues reduce long timescales associated with 10 TeV scale technology. A robust national collider R&D program emphasizing innovative, compact, and power-efficient proposals would attract new talent to the field and be a bold step towards sustainability. In this remark, I will discuss concrete actions we can take to grow the US accelerator work force, including new pathways for experimental particle physicists to join the effort.
