Fundamental science benefits society in many ways, from generating knowledge about how our universe works, to enabling unexpected and often transformative applications. Particle accelerators have been at the centre of many of the most advanced research infrastructures for decades. The

The Future Circular Collider (FCC) collaboration submitted its Conceptual Design Report (CDR) for publication, a four-volume document that presents the different options for a large circular collider of the future, an electron-positron (ee) collider and a hadron-hadron (hh) collider w

Liverpool Convention Centre, 22 March 2019 Being the largest machine in the World, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been an unparalleled source of technological development and innovation as well as a major contributor to our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the

International collaboration has probably never been more important than it is today. With human society facing a number of wide-ranging ‘global challenges’ such as food security, climate change, energy security and diseases, international collaboration in research is essential to find

More than 450 participants in the Future Circular Collider (FCC) Study met last week in Amsterdam for its annual collaboration week. The Cockcroft Institute had an important representation in the FCC Week 2018 with Oleg Malyshev, Reza Valizadeh, Ruta Sirvinskaite, and Taaj Sian presen

The second Annual Meeting of the Future Circular Collider study will take place from 11 to 15 April 2016 in Rome. The meeting brings together the world’s leading scientists and engineers and relevant industry representatives to set the goals for the coming year and further develop thi

  Last June saw the start of the EU-funded EuroCirCol project, a design study for a post-LHC hadron collider in which the Cockcroft Institute is playing an important role. The study has received 3 M€ within the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Framework Program to produce a c

European Circular Energy-Frontier Collider takes us deep into space-time The world is gearing up for the biggest physics experiment ever and it will take us ‘back to the future’ according to Professor Carsten P. Welsch of the Cockcroft Institute/University of Liverpool and partner in

The European Circular Energy-Frontier Collider (EuroCirCol) project started on 1 June 2015. EuroCirCol is a conceptual design study for a post-LHC research infrastructure based on an energy-frontier 100 TeV circular hadron collider. It was selected for funding within the Horizon 2020
