Questions to the panel:

What are the key differences in the physics reach of very high-energy e+e-, gamma-gamma and muon colliders at the TeV to 14-TeV energy? Is the ability to produce polarized initial states (available for e+e- and gamma-gamma) a significant advantage in key physics observables?

These options might pose different challenges in technological R&D to build a detector...
