FCC-ee accelerator parameters, performance and limitations

Understand

CERN has recently launched the Future Circular Collider (FCC) study to deal with all aspects of an ambitious post-LHC possible programme.

• The emphasis of the study is on a 100 TeV proton collider to be housed in a 80-100 km new ring in the Geneva region.
• An electron machine will also be considered as a possible intermediate first step (FCC-ee).
• The study benefits from earlier work done in the context of TLEP and has already published a parameter table, to serve as the basis for the work to be done.
