Future Circular Collider

56-mile particle smasher, planned to replace Large Hadron Collider, expected to cost $16B

A feasibility study on CERN's Future Circular Collider identifies where and how the machine could be built—but its construction is far from assured

Ever since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, physicists have wanted to build new particle colliders to better understand the properties of that elusive particle and probe elementary particle physics at ever-higher energy scales.

CERN is an inspiration to people worldwide, and I'm always excited to hear the latest on their plans for the future. Here's my take on CERN FCC Week 2023.

A quarkless supercollider may finally shed light on dark matter

The proposed 91-kilometer collider could be up and running by the 2040s, but it won't perform high-energy physics until 2070.

Exclusive: Cern's next director general Mark Thomson says AI is paving the way for huge advances in particle physics

China wants to build a next-generation particle collider that would be cheaper and more powerful than Europe's planned successor to the Large Hadron Collider

This next-gen collider could redefine the boundaries of physics, but it comes with an astronomical cost.

Scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research reported Monday that the Future Circular Collider is on track to begin operating by 2040.

We agree on the physics case. We want the opportunity to access higher energies in our lifetimes. Let's work together to choose the right path forward, says Karri DiPetrillo.

We asked physicists to predict the discoveries that will blow our minds in the coming years.

The FCC would carry out high-precision experiments in the mid-2040s to study 'known physics' in greater detail in the first phase.

No, it is not the Larger Hadron Collider. It's the Future Circular Collider.

GENEVA — Top minds at the world's largest atom smasher have released a blueprint for a much bigger successor that could vastly improve research into the remaining enigmas of physics.

Groundbreaking experiments with the Large Hadron Collider are revealing ancient cosmic conditions and reshaping our understanding of fundamental physics.

It may be that the famous Higgs boson, co-responsible for the existence of masses of elementary particles, also interacts with the world of the new physics that has been sought for decades. If this were indeed to be the case, the Higgs should decay in a characteristic way, involving exotic particles. At the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Cracow, it has been shown that if such…

Europe's CERN laboratory has taken its first steps towards building a huge new particle accelerator that would eclipse its Large Hadron Collider—and hopes to see light at the end of the tunnel.

Particle colliders use a huge amount of energy, so physicists are evaluating proposed successors to the Large Hadron Collider to optimise efficiency and reduce their climate impact
