EuroCirCol: European Circular Energy-Frontier Collider Study EuroCirCol is a conceptual design study in preparation for a post-LHC accelerator in Europe, i.e. the FCC (Future Circular Collider). The project will study different scenarios and assess the feasibility of key technologies needed for a new 100 TeV energy-frontier circular collider through a collaboration of institutes and universities worldwide. The main outcome of EuroCirCol will be laying the foundation of an ambitious post-LHC machine that will strengthen Europe’s position as a focal point of global research cooperation and a leader in frontier knowledge and technologies over the next decades. |
