A Survey of the Latin American High Energy Physics community on the future flagship project at CERN for the ESPP Update

Abstract

This document collects input from Latin America as a contribution to the Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics. It emerges from a survey of members of the Latin American Association for High Energy, Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (LAA-HECAP) that collected data in February and a subsequent town-hall meeting, inspired by the ECFA guidelines for national communities. This contribution first reviews the Latin American participation at CERN, provides background on LAA-HECAP, and then presents the survey methodology and its results. Some conclusions are drawn based on the results of the survey.
