Private donors back CERN's multi-decade Future Circular Collider plan

CERN has secured $1 billion in private donations from the Breakthrough Prize Foundation, the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Fund, John Elkann, and Xavier Niel to kick off the Future Circular Collider (FCC), a 90.7-km tunnel intended as the Large Hadron Collider’s successor. The plan features a two-phase roadmap: FCC-ee as a Higgs factory starting around 2030 with operations by 2047, followed by FCC-hh protons at 85 TeV in the 2070s to probe new physics. A CERN Council decision is expected in 2028, with construction potentially starting in 2030. China’s CEPC stall may open collaboration opportunities modeled after ITER, while the HL-LHC upgrade remains a priority in the near term.

"Remembering Peter Higgs: Unraveling the Universe's Building Blocks"

Peter Higgs, the physicist who gave his name to the Higgs boson, has passed away at 94. His groundbreaking work in particle physics led to the discovery of the Higgs boson, a crucial component of the Standard Model. The elusive nature of the particle prompted the construction of the Large Hadron Collider, which confirmed its existence in 2012. Higgs and his colleagues' discovery of the Higgs boson represents a significant advancement in our understanding of particle physics, and ongoing research aims to further explore its implications through the Future Circular Collider.

"Unveiling the Mysteries: Advancing Particle Physics with a Next-Generation Supercollider"

CERN is designing a new supercollider, the Future Circular Collider (FCC), which will be 8 times more powerful than the LHC and could potentially solve mysteries about the nature of the universe, including dark matter and dark energy. The first phase of the FCC could be operational by 2045, and it aims to reproduce 11 years of physics data in about 2 minutes. The FCC would consist of two phases, with the second phase aiming to uncover fundamental forces and particles that have never been observed. However, constructing the supercollider is a massive undertaking, with the first phase alone estimated to cost around $15 billion.

"Europe's Ambitious Plan for a Massive Next-Generation Particle Collider"

CERN is proposing to build the Future Circular Collider (FCC), a particle accelerator three times longer than the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in a 27-kilometer tunnel near Geneva. The FCC aims to address fundamental questions about dark matter and antimatter by smashing subatomic particles together at 100 teraelectronvolts, surpassing the LHC's energy level. The project, estimated to cost $21.5 billion, has sparked debate among scientists about its potential to generate new insights. If approved, the FCC could be operational by the 2040s, coinciding with the end of the LHC's useful life.

"Future Circular Collider: Europe's $17 Billion Quest for the Dark Universe"

Plans are underway to build the Future Circular Collider (FCC), a new particle collider three times longer than the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with the potential to reach energies of 100 TeV. The first phase, scheduled for the mid-2040s, will feature an electron-positron collider (FCC-ee) followed by a proton-proton collider (FCC-hh) that will surpass the LHC's energy capabilities eightfold. The ambitious project aims to push the boundaries of high energy physics and uncover new realms of physics, requiring technological advances and international collaboration.

"Proposed: CERN's $17 Billion Plan for a 3x Larger Particle Smasher"

CERN is planning to build the Future Circular Collider (FCC), a new particle collider three times longer than the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with the capability to smash particles together with significantly more energy. The ambitious project aims to push energy thresholds beyond current capabilities and promises a physics program that will take high energy research into the next century. The FCC tunnel will house two colliders, the electron-positron collider (FCC-ee) and the proton-proton collider (FCC-hh), with the goal of pushing particle collision to energies of 100 TeV and uncovering new realms of physics.

"Humanity's Quest: CERN's $17 Billion Plan for a 3-Times Bigger Particle Smasher"

CERN has proposed the construction of the $17 billion Future Circular Collider (FCC), which would be 3 times larger than the Large Hadron Collider. The FCC aims to probe the fringes of the Standard Model of particle physics by smashing particles at higher energies to discover unknown particles and forces, understand the nature of dark matter and dark energy, and investigate the matter-antimatter asymmetry. While some scientists are skeptical about the project's cost and potential, member states will decide on its greenlight in 2028, with the first phase expected to come online in 2045 and full operation in the 2070s.

"CERN's $17 Billion Proposal: Building a Particle Smasher 3 Times Larger Than the Large Hadron Collider"

CERN has proposed the construction of a $17 billion Future Circular Collider (FCC), which would be 3 times larger than the Large Hadron Collider and aims to probe the fringes of the Standard Model of particle physics. Physicists hope to use the increased size and power of the FCC to discover unknown particles and forces, understand the nature of dark matter and dark energy, and investigate why matter outweighs antimatter. Despite high hopes, some scientists are skeptical about the project's potential return on investment. The feasibility study is set to be finished next year, and member states will meet in 2028 to decide whether to greenlight the project, with the first phase expected to come online in 2045.

"Next-Generation Particle Collider to Unveil Mysteries of the Dark Universe"

The Future Circular Collider (FCC), set to succeed the Large Hadron Collider, is being planned to investigate dark energy and dark matter by smashing particles together with unprecedented energy. The FCC will be over three times the length of the LHC and is expected to reach energies as great as 100 TeV, compared to the LHC's 13 TeV. The FCC's feasibility study is set to conclude in 2025, with construction potentially beginning in the mid-2030s, and the first stage of the FCC-ee expected to start operations in 2045.

"Proposed €20bn Next-Generation Particle-Smasher to Uncover Universe's Secrets"

CERN is proposing to build the Future Circular Collider (FCC), a particle accelerator three times the size of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to explore energies beyond the LHC's capabilities and hunt for evidence of dark matter and dark energy. The proposed 90-kilometer-long collider aims to start smashing electrons in the 2040s and protons in the 2070s, with a price tag of $17.2 billion. Critics argue that the project is a gamble and that the funds could be better spent elsewhere, but the decision ultimately rests on the countries that fund CERN.

"Europe's Ambitious €20bn Plan to Uncover Universe's Secrets with Giant Particle Collider"

Europe's CERN laboratory has unveiled plans for the Future Circular Collider (FCC), a massive new particle accelerator that would surpass the Large Hadron Collider in size and power. The FCC, if approved, would start operations around the middle of the century and conduct its highest-energy collisions by 2070. With a proposed cost of $17 billion for its first stage, the FCC aims to explore the fundamental forces of the universe, study the properties of matter at the smallest scale and highest energy, and potentially confirm the existence of theorized particles. The project is set to undergo further feasibility studies and a decision on its construction is expected in 2028.

"Quest for the Missing 95%: Massive Atom-Smasher's Mission"

Researchers at CERN have proposed the construction of a new, larger supercollider, the Future Circular Collider (FCC), at a cost of £17bn, aiming to discover new particles that could revolutionize physics and provide a more complete understanding of the Universe. The current Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has not yet found particles to explain 95% of the cosmos, including dark matter and dark energy. While some experts question the economic sense of the project, CERN's director general believes the FCC is necessary for advancing fundamental physics. Critics argue for alternative, more cost-effective options and question the allocation of funds in the face of global challenges like the climate emergency.
