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