World’s Biggest Stargate Under Construction: Future Circular Collider Particle Accelerator Will Be Three Times As Big As CERN’S LHC
June 4, 2017 by SkyWatch Editor
Over 500 scientists and researcher are meeting in Berlin from May 29 to June 2 to discuss the plans for the Future Circular Collider, a massive particle accelerator than is expected to succeed the Large Hadron Collider. In the meeting, the attendees are reviewing progress on the concepts for the FCC, which will be three times as big as and seven times more powerful than the LHC. Compared to the LHC’s 27-kilometer (17 miles) long looping tunnel, the FCC will be a 80-100-kilometer circular collider sitting just south of the world’s current largest particle accelerator, straddling the Swiss-French border. Compared to the 13 TeV of energy reached by the LHC in its 2015 run — which is the current world record, though it could be bettered during the ongoing 2017 run — the FCC could smash particles with power of up to 100 TeV. That amount of energy is roughly equivalent to 10 million lightning strikes.
