Join the audience for a live CERN Courier webinar at 18:00 Central European Time on Wednesday 30 June 2021 and put your questions about future colliders directly to an expert panel of accelerator, experimental and theoretical physicists.

By clicking the “Join the audience” button you will be taken to our third-party webinar provider in order to register your details.

Our three panellists will introduce the motivation for and status of a proposed Future Circular Collider (FCC) at CERN, followed by a discussion and live questions from the audience moderated by CERN Courier editor Matthew Chalmers.

Accelerator physicist and FCC study leader Michael Benedikt (CERN/Vienna University of Technology) will report on the status and scope of the FCC Innovation Study, a European Union-funded project to assess the technical and financial feasibility of a 100 km electron-positron and proton-proton collider in the Geneva region.

Experimental particle physicist Beate Heinemann (DESY/Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg) will explain how the Higgs boson opens a new window on fundamental physics, and why a post-LHC collider is essential to explore this and other hot topics such as flavour physics.

Theoretical physicist Matthew McCullough (CERN) will explore the potential of a future circular collider to address the dark sector of the universe, and explain the importance of striving for the highest energies possible.
