The Breast Surgery theoretical and practical knowledge curriculum comprehensively describes the knowledge and skills expected of a fully trained breast surgeon practicing in the European Union and European Economic Area (EEA). It forms part of a range of factors that contribute to the delivery of high quality cancer care. It has been developed by a panel of experts from across Europe and has been validated by professional breast surgery societies in Europe. The curriculum maps closely to the syllabus of the Union of European Medical Specialists (UEMS) Breast Surgery Exam, the UK FRCS (breast specialist interest) curriculum and other professional standards across Europe and globally (USA Society of Surgical Oncology, SSO). It is envisioned that this will serve as the basis for breast surgery training, examination and accreditation across Europe to harmonise and raise standards as breast surgery develops as a separate discipline from its parent specialties (general surgery, gynaecology, surgical oncology and plastic surgery). The curriculum is not static but will be revised and updated by the curriculum development group of the European Breast Surgical Oncology Certification group (BRESO) every 2 years.

We present the achievements of the last years of the experimental and theoretical groups working on hadronic cross section measurements at the low-energy e (+) e (-) colliders in Beijing, Frascati, Ithaca, Novosibirsk, Stanford and Tsukuba and on tau decays. We sketch the prospects in these fields for the years to come. We emphasise the status and the precision of the Monte Carlo generators used to analyse the hadronic cross section measurements obtained as well with energy scans as with radiative return, to determine luminosities and tau decays. The radiative corrections fully or approximately implemented in the various codes and the contribution of the vacuum polarisation are discussed. ; This work was supported in part by: – European Union Marie-Curie Research Training Networks MRTN-CT-2006-035482 "FLAVIAnet" andMRTN-CT-2006- 035505 "HEPTOOLS"; – European Union Research Programmes at LNF, FP7, Transnational Access to Research Infrastructure (TARI), Hadron Physics2-Integrating Activity, Contract No. 227431; – Generalitat Valenciana under Grant No. PROMETEO/2008/069; – German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) grants 05HT4VKA/3, 06-KA-202 and 06-MZ-9171I; – German Research Foundation (DFG): 'Emmy Noether Programme', contracts DE839/1-4, 'Heisenberg Programme' and Sonderforschungsbereich/Transregio SFB/TRR 9; – Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association, contract HA-101 ("Physics at the Terascale"); – INTAS project Nr 05-1000008-8328 "Higher-order effects in e+e− annihilation and muon anomalous magnetic moment"; – Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación under Grant No. FPA2007- 60323, and CPAN (Grant No. CSD2007-00042); – National Natural Science Foundation of China under Contracts Nos. 10775142, 10825524 and 10935008; – Polish Government grant N202 06434 (2008-2010); – PST.CLG.980342 – Research Fellowship of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science for Young Scientists; – RFBR grants 03-02-16477, 04-02-16217, 04-02-1623, 04-02- 16443, 04-02-16181-a, 04-02-16184-a, 05-02-16250-a, 06-02- 16192-a, 07-02-00816-a, 08-02-13516, 08-02-91969 and 09- 02-01143; – Theory-LHC-France initiative of CNRS/IN2P3; – US DOE contract DE-FG02-09ER41600.

In response to the 2013 Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, the Future Circular Collider (FCC) study was launched, as an international collaboration hosted by CERN. This study covers a highest-luminosity high-energy lepton collider (FCC-ee) and an energy-frontier hadron collider (FCC-hh), which could, successively, be installed in the same 100 km tunnel. The scientific capabilities of the integrated FCC programme would serve the worldwide community throughout the 21st century. The FCC study also investigates an LHC energy upgrade, using FCC-hh technology. This document constitutes the second volume of the FCC Conceptual Design Report, devoted to the electron-positron collider FCC-ee. After summarizing the physics discovery opportunities, it presents the accelerator design, performance reach, a staged operation scenario, the underlying technologies, civil engineering, technical infrastructure, and an implementation plan. FCC-ee can be built with today's technology. Most of the FCC-ee infrastructure could be reused for FCC-hh. Combining concepts from past and present lepton colliders and adding a few novel elements, the FCC-ee design promises outstandingly high luminosity. This will make the FCC-ee a unique precision instrument to study the heaviest known particles (Z, W and H bosons and the top quark), offering great direct and indirect sensitivity to new physics. ; European Union [654305, 764879, 730871, 777563]; FP7 [312453] ; Open access article ; This item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.
