This paper presents the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its current scientific programme and outlines options for high-energy colliders at the energy frontier for the years to come. The immediate plans include the exploitation of the LHC at its design luminosity and energy, as well as upgrades to the LHC and its injectors. This may be followed by a linear electron-positron collider, based on the technology being developed by the Compact Linear Collider and the International Linear Collider collaborations, or by a high-energy electron-proton machine. This contribution describes the past, present and future directions, all of which have a unique value to add to experimental particle physics, and concludes by outlining key messages for the way forward.
本文介绍了大型强子对撞机（LHC）及其当前的科学计划，并概述了未来几年高能对撞机在能量前沿的选择。目前的计划包括在 LHC 的设计亮度和能量下进行开发，以及对 LHC 及其注入器进行升级。之后可能会出现一种基于 Compact Linear Collider 和 International Linear Collider 合作开发的技术的线性正负电子对撞机，或者是一种高能电子质子机。本贡献描述了过去、现在和未来的方向，所有这些方向都对实验粒子物理学有独特的价值，并通过概述前进道路上的关键信息来结束。
