Description
Abstract: this seminar will introduce the Future Circular Colliders project, highlight some results of the Feasibility Study and discuss the next steps towards approval. The FCC project features a 90 km long tunnel in the Geneva basin where an electron-positron collider crossing four relevant electroweak thresholds (Z, WW, HZ and tt) shall be installed first. A longer term energy frontier proton collider, defining the infrastructures, is envisaged to be hosted in the very same
tunnel. The exquisite luminosity of the electron circular machine at each energy can challenge the electroweak observables precision consistency test and offer, in particular at the Z pole but not only there, a continuation of the exploration of the Flavour Physics case beyond the vibrant LHCb and Belle II programmes. We’ll review these Physics opportunities introducing the newly established Flavoured Circular Collider Workshop and discuss some of the related detector requirements and detector R&D.
