General Physics Colloquium, Dr. Michael Benedikt, CERN

Title:  The Future Circular Collider program at CERN

Host:  Georg Hoffstaetter

Abstract: 

The Future Circular Collider (FCC) program, proposed at CERN, consists of a luminosity-frontier high-energy electron-positron collider (FCC-ee) as first stage, followed by an energy-frontier hadron collider (FCC-hh) as second stage, and promises the most far-reaching physics program for the post-LHC era. FCC-ee is a precision instrument to study the Z, W, Higgs and top particles, and offers unprecedented sensitivity to signs of new physics. Most of the FCC-ee infrastructure can later be reused for the subsequent hadron collider, FCC-hh. The FCC-hh provides proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 100 TeV and can directly produce new particles with masses of up to several tens of TeV. The options of heavy-ion collisions and ep collisions (FCC-eh) further contribute to the breadth of the overall FCC program. The integrated FCC infrastructure will serve the particle physics community through the end of the 21st century.

The 2020 Update of the European Strategy requests a feasibility study of the FCC colliders and related infrastructure to be established as a global endeavor and completed on the timescale of the next Strategy update by 2026. This presentation will summarize the status of infrastructure studies and the conceptual designs of FCC-ee and FCC-hh, covering the machine concepts, the R&D for key technologies, in particular the SRF system, initial considerations for the experiments, and a possible implementation schedule. Further plans for the organisation of the feasibility study as well es the status of the global FCC collaboration will be discussed, including a planned collaboration with the EIC teams.
