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

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Business Insider

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 €20bn Plan for Giant Collider to Uncover Universe's Secrets"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Nature.com

Europe plans to build a $17-billion supercollider, the Future Circular Collider (FCC), to study the Higgs boson in detail, following the lack of new physics revealed by the Large Hadron Collider. The 91-kilometre-long machine, set to begin construction in 2033, aims to collide electrons and positrons to generate and study around one million Higgs bosons. While some in the particle-physics community disagree with the focus on the FCC, CERN's director-general argues that the new machine will allow for significant advancements in addressing fundamental questions in physics.
