Upgrading the Particle Physics Toolkit: The Future Circular Collider - Harry Cliff, John Womersley

From the creator

When the LHC reaches the limits of its discovery potential in 2035, what happens next? John Womersley and Harry Cliff discuss the next mega-collider - the future circular collider. Subscribe for regular science videos: http://bit.ly/RiSubscRibe The 'Future Circular Collider' (FCC) is a plan for a 100km ring-shaped particle accelerator buried underground near Geneva, which would dwarf the Large Hadron Collider in power, reaching collision energies of up to 100 TeV. This formidable machine would allow physicists to seek answers to some of the deepest questions about our universe including the nature of dark matter, the imbalance between matter and antimatter in the universe, and whether a deeper theory lies beneath the current Standard Model of particle physics. Watch the Q&A: https://youtu.be/ea9G1PHpNNY Dr Harry Cliff is a particle physicist based at the University of Cambridge who works on the LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Harry’s research is focused on searching for signs of new particles and forces beyond the Standard Model of particle physics by studying the decays of particles known as bottom quarks. For the past seven years he has held a joint fellowship with the Science Museum, where he curated exhibitions on physics and astronomy including a major exhibition about the Large Hadron Collider. Professor John Womersley is one of the world’s foremost particle physicists and has taken leading roles on projects both in Europe and the United States. John w
