description: Several placements have been investigated during the feasibility studies for the Future Circular Collider (FCC), which is envisaged to be the successor of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The conceptual design of FCC considers a 97.75 km long, quasi-circular tunnel, situated in the Geneva Basin and with tunnel connections to the LHC or a superconducting SPS for the beam transfer lines. The study described in this technical note considers an alternative scenario for the placement of the FCC, on the west side of the Jura mountains, in the so called “Bresse Graben” formation. Beam would be transported through a single ~60 km long transfer line from the LHC. This note summarises the findings of a civil engineering feasibility study for such a ‘trans-Jura’ scenario.
