After several years of reflection and international collaboration, CERN has just completed a major study: can we build a new giant particle accelerator, even more ambitious than the LHC?

The even larger project is the Future Circular Collider. The 56-mile-long (91-kilometer) project has not yet gotten the green light or (arguably more importantly) funding, and even if it does, the ...

This phase will explore known physics originally pioneered by the LHC, and will be an “electron–positron collider serving as a Higgs, electroweak and top-quark factory running at different ...

For nearly two decades, it has hosted the LHC, the world’s largest and most powerful collider. The LHC itself replaced a previous electron–positron collider in the same tunnel, called LEP ...

CERN plans to unfold the project in two stages. The first stage involves an electron-positron collider called FCC-ee, where electrons will collide with their antimatter counterparts, positrons.
