Description
With the LHC Run-3 currently underway, the global high energy physics community is actively working to define the future of collider particle physics. The European Strategy for Particle Physics has identified an e+e- Higgs factory as its top priority and the first step towards a future hadron collider with very high energy. To address these goals, a staged Future Circular Collider (FCC) is being proposed at CERN.
The FCC will consist of an electron-positron collider (FCC-ee), followed by an energy-frontier hadron collider (FCC-hh). The first stage will enable the precise study of Z, W, Higgs, and top quarks, and promises unparalleled sensitivity to detecting new physics. What's more, much of the infrastructure from the FCC-ee will be reused for the subsequent hadron collider, FCC-hh.
As the last running period before the High-Luminosity LHC, LHC Run-3 is a critical time for the high energy physics community to ramp up efforts to define the future of collider particle physics. The FCC is a promising proposal that could help unlock new insights into the fundamental nature of the universe.
