Abstract Seminar INFN-Accelerator group, 11/3/22
Title: FCC
Abstract:
The 2020 Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics requests a global feasibility study of a future 100 TeV hadron collider at CERN, with an electron-positron Higgs and electroweak factory as a possible first stage. This request is well aligned with the proposed Future Circular Collider (FCC) programme, which consists of a luminosity-frontier high-energy electron-positron collider (FCC-ee) followed by an energy-frontier hadron collider (FCC-hh).
A H2020 EU co-funded design study “FCCIS”, involving INFN Frascati and Roma will carry out the core work on the FCC-ee collider optimisation. INFN is also participating in the design of the FCC-ee injector complex, and it is leading the efforts on machine detector interface and collective effects.
This seminar will summarise the designs of FCC-ee and FCC-hh, covering the latest accelerator layouts and beam parameters, the R&D plan for key technologies, ongoing placement studies, and a possible implementation schedule.
