With the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, a complete experimental confirmation of the minimal version of the Standard Model (SM) of elementary particles took place. However, the SM is not the final theory. Modern high-energy physics is aimed at searching for phenomena that go beyond the SM, manifesting themselves either in the existence of new fundamental particles, or in the difference between the results of precision measurements and the SM predictions.

The “Crab waist” particle beam collision scheme proposed in 2006 paved the way for the creation of a new generation of colliders - super factories - with a luminosity two orders of magnitude higher than that of modern facilities. The super B factory SuperKEKB launched in Japan and the planned Z and Higgs factory at CERN FCC-ee are based on this principle. The Super C-Tau Factory is a super factory class collider project aimed at the threshold production of tau leptons and charmed hadrons and the comprehensive, detailed study of these particles and the search for phenomena beyond the Standard Model. The Super s-tau factory assumes longitudinal polarization of the electron beam at the meeting point, which greatly enriches the physical program of the experiment.

The report discusses the relevance of experiments at the Super s-tau factory, presents an overview of the physics program and a conceptual design of the accelerator complex and elementary particle detector.
