A new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Future Circular Collider (FCC) for the new phase of the design of the accelerator was signed by Dr Michael Benedikt, the leader of the study, and Dr Fabio Miletto Granozio, SPIN director, as representative of CNR.
At the same time, Dr Emilio Bellingeri and Dr Alessandro Leveratto were chosen as member and deputy member, respectively, in the FCC International Collaboration Board. Within this MOU, partners will explore the technical and financial feasibility of a future hadron collider at CERN with a centre-of-mass energy of at least 100 TeV and with an electron-positron Higgs and electroweak factory as a possible first stage. Such a feasibility study of the colliders and related infrastructure should be established as a global endeavour and be completed on the timescale of the next Strategy update (2025).
