Future Circular Collider (FCC)
- Future Circular Collider (FCC) is a proposed next-generation particle accelerator by CERN. It is a planned 91 km circular tunnel beneath the Swiss-French border.
- FCC is expected to be completed in 2035 and will have a significantly higher energy than previous colliders.
- It will succeed the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which discovered the Higgs boson in 2012.
Scientific Objectives
- Understand the Higgs Boson in greater detail.
- Study fundamental forces and the nature of matter.
- Explore mysteries like dark matter and antimatter asymmetry.
- Go beyond the discoveries of the LHC, which found the Higgs boson in 2012.
