The Future Circular Collider Study (FCC) is developing designs for a higher performance particle collider to extend the research currently being conducted at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), once the latter reaches the end of its lifespan. The goal of the FCC is to greatly push the energy and intensity frontiers of particle colliders, with the aim of reaching collision energies of 100 TeV, in the search for new physics.
Aimed at identifying solutions for the reuse rock excavated during tunnelling for future CERN colliders, this competition shortlisted four promising proposals.
A recent analysis, comparing the environmental impact of different proposed Higgs factories per physics output, concluded that the FCC-ee is the most sustainable design.
The 2022 FCC Week brought together more than 250 collaborators from 30 countries to discuss the latest status of the FCC Feasibility Study, that was launched by the CERN Council in 2021 in response to the 2020 European Strategy Update
In the frame of the Future Circular Collider Innovation Study (FCCIS), a first workshop on the FCC collider design took place at CERN at the end of year
This summer, the 2021 Future Circular Collider (FCC) Week took place online and attracted more than 700 participants. At the same time, the Collider Diaries follow 5 scientists and engineers who contributed to its superconducting a
