context_page_description: The Future Circular Collider is a proposed post-LHC particle accelerator with an energy significantly above that of previous circular colliders. After injection at 3.3 TeV, each beam would have a total energy of 560 MJ. With a centre-of-mass collision energy of 100 TeV the total energy value increases to 16.7 GJ. These total energy values exceed the present LHC by nearly a factor of 30.
  CERN hosted an FCC study exploring the feasibility of different particle collider scenarios with the aim of significantly increasing the energy and luminosity compared to existing colliders. It aims to complement existing technical designs for linear electron/positron colliders.
  The study explores the potential of hadron and lepton circular colliders, performing an analysis of infrastructure and operation concepts and considering the technology research and development programmes that are required to build and operate a future circular collider. A conceptual design report was published in early 2019, in time for the next update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics.
context_section_description: As the development of a next generation particle accelerator requires new technology the FCC Study has studied the equipment and machines that are needed for the realization of the project, taking into account the experience from past and present accelerator projects.
  The foundations for these advancements are being laid in a focused R&D programmes:
  a 16 Tesla high-field accelerator magnet and related super-conductor research,
  a 100 MW radiofrequency acceleration system that can efficiently transfer power from the electricity grid to the beams,
  a highly efficient large-scale cryogenics infrastructure to cool down superconducting accelerator components and the accompanying refrigeration systems.
  Numerous other technologies from various fields (accelerator physics, high-field magnets, cryogenics, vacuum, civil engineering, material science, superconductors, ...) are needed for reliable, sustainable and efficient operation.
