FCC offers the most effective and comprehensive approach to thoroughly explore the open questions in modern particle physics.

 

Feasibility Study

A new scientific tool for the post-LHC landscape

The Future Circular Collider Study (FCC) is developing designs for a new research infrastructure to host the next generation of higher performance particle colliders to extend the research currently being conducted at CERN’s flagship Large Hadron Collider the LHC, once the High-Luminosity phase (HL-LHC) reaches its conclusion in around 2040.

The goal of the FCC is to push the energy and intensity frontiers of particle colliders, with the aim of reaching collision energies of 100 TeV, in the search for new physics.

Physics

A scientific mission for the 21st century

The discovery of the Higgs boson has dramatically changed the particle physics landscape, opening the door to the study of many qualitatively new fundamental interactions. One of the core goals of the FCC programme is to directly observe and study these interactions of the Higgs, with the W and Z bosons, quarks and leptons, and of the Higgs with itself, the keystone of the Standard Model of particle physics. 

The FCC will also offer a broad physics programme beyond the Higgs sector, including searches for answers to many of the other major open questions of particle physics, such as the nature of dark matter, the origin of the matter–antimatter asymmetry in the Universe, and the source of neutrino masses. This diverse physics programme will be enabled by the unprecedented precision, sensitivity and energy reach of CERN’s Future Circular Colliders.

Accelerators

Preparing the next-generation of particle colliders to boost the energy and intensity frontiers.

The FCC Study is developing concepts for post-LHC circular particle colliders and is exploring an integrated scenario based on a step-by-step approach. The latter has construction and operation in two stages: initially an electron–positron collider (FCC-ee) serving as a Higgs and electroweak factory will offer extremely precise measurements followed by a 100 TeV proton–proton (FCC-hh) collider that would provide direct access to new particles and phenomena. In addition, heavy-ion or hadron–lepton collisions could add to the versatility of the FCC research programme

Technologies

Designing a sustainable research infrastructure through collaborative R&D

The development of a future circular collider requires significant advances in numerous technologies through long-term, strategic R&D programmes conducted by academia, research centres and industry. For its next phase, the FCC study has identified a priority list of technologies needed to enable reliable and sustainable operation which will deliver a wealth of data and enable a rich physics programme. The success of these activities depends on a geographically well-balanced and topically complementary collaboration.

CSIL-logo

When the founding members established the Centre for Industrial Studies (CSIL) in 1980, in Milan, they were inspired by the vision of the distinguished economists and entrepreneurs with whom they had been working.

Several of CSIL’s founding members and collaborators were students at ISTAO, the Adriano Olivetti Institute based in Ancona. Founded by Giorgio Fuà (1919-2000), ISTAO is one of the most prestigious schools of applied economics and business management operating in Italy. CSIL intellectual roots rely on Fuà’s ideas of economic development. They combine a Schumpeterian vision of development with the intuition that entrepreneurship results from a complex interaction between social, cultural, and political factors. This informs CSIL’s interest in industrial clusters, entrepreneurship dynamics, and economic development.

CSIL was also inspired by the entrepreneurial mindset of Alberto Zevi (1920-1993), one of its founding members. From him, CSIL inherited the vision that innovation is a never-ending process made of observation, imitation, and creative adaptation. In the delivery of its services, CSIL always strives for the valued ingredient of first-hand experience. 

From both Fuà and Zevi, CSIL derived its cosmopolitan vocation. From a starting point in the thriving SMEs industrial context of Brianza (north of Milan), CSIL’s activities now extend worldwide, and in a wide range of sectors. CSIL works with a global outlook, seeking differences and similarities, best practices, and world-class knowledge, to be transferred where it is most needed.

Today, CSIL is a centre of excellence with a strong reputation for reliability and intellectual integrity.

tallin uni of technologyTallinn University of Technology (TUT) was founded in 1918 when the Estonian Engineering Society brought together local technology experts to provide courses in, what was then, German-occupied Estonia. The country gained independence that same year and, in the following year, it became a private institution named the Tallinn College of Engineering.

Today, TUT is a public university located in the heart of Estonia’s capital city. It is also the country’s only technical university.

Serving close to 12,000 students, including more than 1,000 international students, the university offers around 30 undergraduate programmes, 50 at master’s level and 10 PhDs.

The institution is organised across 16 different faculties, institutes and colleges, with over 2,000 members of staff, including around 120 international academic staff.

Situated in the Mustamäe region of Tallinn, TUT claims to be the only campus university within the Baltic States. Set in 55 hectares of land, the campus is home to many high-tech companies as well as the Estonian Information Technology College, a science park, the 19th century Glehn Castle, as well as a library, museum, restaurants, bars and residential areas.
