 Preliminary EIR optics and lattice files: Milestone M3.2 / Seryi, Andrei (Oxford U.) This document describes the preliminary optics for the experimental insertion region, presented in the form of lattice files to provide a baseline for studying radiation effects, machine detector interface and beam-beam interactions as well as an optimised design for a smooth transit from injection to collision optics. The lattice files are kept in a repository together with the arc optics files.. CERN-ACC-2016-0031.- Geneva : CERN, 2016 Fulltext: PDF;

 Containment and resolution of hadronic showers at the FCC / Solans Sanchez, Carlos (CERN) ; Helsens, Clement (CERN) ; Carli, Tancredi (CERN) ; Henriques Correia, Ana Maria (CERN) The particles produced at a potential Future Circular Collider with $\sqrt{s}$ = 100 TeV are of unprecented energies. In this document we present the hadronic shower containment and resolution parametrizations based on Geant4 simulations for the Hadronic calorimetry needed for conceptual detector design at this energy.
