Research Progress Meeting
Date: March 5, 2024

Speaker: Roy Aleksan (CEA-Saclay)
Title: Status of the Future Circular Collider (FCC)
Abstract:
While the LHC is continuing its outstanding program, one needs to decide what the next large accelerator project in particle physics will be. There is a general global consensus that an e+e- collider is the next priority. In accordance with the 2020 European Strategy Update, the technical and financial feasibility of a circular high energy hadron collider at CERN with a centre-of-mass energy of at least 100 TeV and with an electron-positron Higgs and electroweak factory as a possible first stage has been launched in Europe. In the present talk, we shall discuss the status of this endeavor including the physics motivation, the corresponding technical implications for the detectors as well as the status of the study of the accelerator complex with special emphasis on the e+e- collider.
