Current Context: The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and global partners have completed a feasibility study on the Future Circular Collider (FCC), involving over 1,000 experts.

• Key Points
  • The FCC is planned as the successor to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), with a 91 km circumference and a focus on Higgs boson research.
  • Aims to explore fundamental physics, including the origin of mass and the fate of the universe.
• Will operate in two phases:
  • 2046 – Electron-positron collider.
  • 2070 – Proton-proton collider.
• Potential applications in medicine, fusion energy, and advanced accelerators.
