Expected Sensitivity to Invisible Higgs Boson Decays at the ILC with the SiD Detector (A Snowmass White Paper)
In the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, the branching ratio for Higgs boson decays to a final state which is invisible to collider detectors, $H \rightarrow ZZ^{\star} \rightarrow \nu \bar{\nu} \nu \bar{\nu}$, is order 0.10%. In theories beyond the SM (BSM), this branching ratio can be enhanced by decays to undiscovered particles like dark matter (DM). At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the current best upper limit on the branching ratio of invisible Higgs boson decays is 11% at 95% confidence level. We investigate the expected sensitivity to invisible Higgs decays with the Silicon Detector (SiD) at the International Linear Collider (ILC). We conclude that at $\sqrt{s}=250$ GeV with 900 fb$^{-1}$ integrated luminosity each for $e_{L}^-e_{R}^+$ and $e_{R}^-e_{L}^+$ at nominal beam polarization fractions, the expected upper limit is 0.16% at 95% confidence level.

Strategy for Understanding the Higgs Physics: The Cool Copper Collider
A program to build a lepton-collider Higgs factory, to precisely measure the couplings of the Higgs boson to other particles, followed by a higher energy run to establish the Higgs self-coupling and expand the new physics reach, is widely recognized as a primary focus of modern particle physics. We propose a strategy that focuses on a new technology and preliminary estimates suggest that can lead to a compact, affordable machine. New technology investigations will provide much needed enthusiasm for our field, resulting in trained workforce. This cost-effective, compact design, with technologies useful for a broad range of other accelerator applications, could be realized as a project in the US. Its technology innovations, both in the accelerator and the detector, will offer unique and exciting opportunities to young scientists. Moreover, cost effective compact designs, broadly applicable to other fields of research, are more likely to obtain financial support from our funding agencies.

Experimental Tests of Particle Flow Calorimetry
Precision physics at future colliders requires highly granular calorimeters to support the Particle Flow Approach for event reconstruction. This article presents a review of about 10 - 15 years of R\&D, mainly conducted within the CALICE collaboration, for this novel type of detector. The performance of large scale prototypes in beam tests validate the technical concept of particle flow calorimeters. The comparison of test beam data with simulation, of e.g.\ hadronic showers, supports full detector studies and gives deeper insight into the structure of hadronic cascades than was possible previously.
