It's Future Circular Collider week in Washington DC

This week delegates at the first Annual Meeting of the FCC study will discuss the status of their project to decide on a baseline for further study

It's Future Circular Collider (FCC) week in Washington DC from 23-27 March.

The FCC is a conceptual design study with an emphasis on a circular hadron collider with a centre-of-mass collision energy of 100 TeV and a luminosity of 5 – 10 x 1034 cm2s-1. The collider would sit in a new tunnel 80 to 100 kilometres in circumference. The scope includes the study of an e+e- collider with centre-of-mass energies up to 350 GeV as a potential intermediary step.

Organized as an IEEE conference and held at the Marriott Georgetown Hotel in Washington DC, this first Annual Meeting will follow the traditional layout of plenary and parallel sessions with invited contributions. Plenary sessions will give an overview of ongoing activities across all parts of the study, and inform study members about the main boundary conditions and working hypothesis. Parallel sessions will focus on more specific areas of the study.

The organizers hope that the conference will strengthen the FCC community by providing opportunities to share ideas.
