The Future Circular Collider (FCC) is a conceptual study that aims to develop designs for a post-LHC particle accelerator with an energy significantly above that of previous circular colliders.
After injection at 3.3 TeV, each beam would have a total energy of 560 MJ. At collision energy of 100 TeV this increases to 16.7 GJ. These total energy values exceed the present LHC by nearly a factor of 30.
The FCC study explores the feasibility of different particle collider scenarios with the aim of significantly increasing the energy and luminosity compared to existing colliders. It aims to complement existing technical designs for linear electron/positron colliders.
In this talk, Dr Benedikt who is FCC study leader, outlines the main challenges of this next generation accelerator.
