International collaboration outlines future physics research at CERN

摘要

An international collaboration of scientists and researchers has published a Conceptual Design Report for the Future Circular Collider (FCC). The four-volume document presents the different options for a large circular collider. It showcases the great physics opportunities offered by machines of unprecedented energy and intensity, and describes the technical challenges, cost and schedule for realisation. The FCC conceptual design report is a remarkable accomplishment. It shows the tremendous potential of the FCC to improve our knowledge of fundamental physics and to advance many technologies with a broad impact on society', said CERN director-general Fabiola Gianotti. 'While presenting new, daunting challenges, the FCC would greatly benefit from CERN's expertise, accelerator complex and infrastructures, which have been developed over more than half a century.'
