Other Science Opportunities at the FCC-ee / Agapov, Ilya (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE)) ; Alp, Esen Ercan (Argonne National Laboratory (USA)) ; Andre, Kevin ; Antipov, Sergey (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE)) ; Apyan, Armen (A.I.Alikhanyan National Laboratory (Armenia)) ; Arduini, Gianluigi (CERN) ; Bandiera, Laura (Universita e INFN, Ferrara (IT)) ; Bartmann, Wolfgang (CERN) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Benedikt, Michael (CERN) et al.
The Future Circular Collider (FCC) ‘integrated programme’ consists of an initial electron-positron collider FCC-ee, which is later followed by a proton-proton collider, FCC-hh, installed in the same 91 km circumference tunnel close to CERN. Over a span of 15 years, from the mid or late 2040s through the early 2060s, the FCC-ee shall operate at centre-of-mass energies between about 90 and 365 GeV, always delivering the highest possible luminosities to four experiments, in a sustainable and energy-efficient way.

Future Circular Collider Feasibility Study Report Volume 2 : Accelerators, technical infrastructure and safety / Benedikt, Michael (ed.) (CERN) ; Bartmann, Wolfgang (ed.)

In response to the 2020 Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, the Future Circular Collider (FCC) Feasibility Study was launched as an international collaboration hosted by CERN. The FCC ‘integrated programme’, described in this report, in a first stage consists of a highest-luminosity electron-positron collider, FCC-ee, serving as Higgs, top and electroweak factory, with a subsequent energy-frontier proton-proton collider, FCC-hh, as the second stage.     The FCC-ee is designed to operate at four baseline centre-of-mass energies, corresponding to the Z pole, the WW pair production threshold, the ZH production peak, and the top/anti-top production threshold, always delivering the highest possible luminosities to four experiments.

Volume 1 of the FCC Feasibility Report presents an overview of the physics case, experimental programme, and detector concepts for the Future Circular Collider (FCC). This volume outlines how the FCC would address some of the most profound open questions in particle physics, from precision studies of the Higgs and EW bosons and of the top quark, to the exploration of physics beyond the Standard Model.

Future Circular Collider: The NbTi based Hadron Collider (FCC-NbTi) / Benedikt, Michael (CERN)
This report describes a novel research infrastructure, based on a 100 km circumference circular tunnel and a hadron collider, using NbTi superconducting magnet technology, with centre-of-mass collision energy of 37.5 TeV, providing a total integrated luminosity of around 10 ab-1 per experiment over a 20-year operation period, a factor of 3 or more larger than the HL-LHC. This collider will extend the current LHC energy frontier by a factor 2.7 and its physics potential has been assessed. [...]
