Circular Collider under Consideration for Post LHC Era
Jan 25 2019
A Conceptual Design Report for the Future Circular Collider (FCC) as an option for steering the future of physics research beyond the capability of the current Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been submitted for consideration of the particle physics community.
The report, presented by an international collaboration of scientists and engineers including many from the UK, outlines possible large circular colliders of the future and showcases the physics opportunities offered by machines of unprecedented energy and intensity, perhaps as much as ten times as powerful as the current LHC.
Over the next two years, the European Strategy for Particle Physics will examine the potential of the FCC under the 2018 -2020 strategy process, together with the other post-LHC collider option at CERN, the CLIC linear collider.
Dr Rob Appleby, from Manchester University/Cockcroft Institute, is the HL-LHC-UK spokesperson and said of the proposed FCC “This Future Circular Collider, if built, will help us further understand the building blocks of our universe and the UK has played its part in the conceptual design of these great machines”.
Using new-generation high-field superconducting magnets, the FCC proton collider would offer a wide range of new physics opportunities. Reaching energies of 100 TeV and beyond would allow precise studies of how a Higgs particle interacts with another Higgs particle and thorough exploration of the role of the electroweak symmetry breaking in the history of our universe
