Title: Some random facts about the Future Circular Collider
Speaker: Sarah Eno - UMD
Abstract:  Precision measurements of standard model processes have generally given first indication of the energy scales of new physics, leading e.g. to the prediction of the charm quark, and first estimates of the top, W, Z, and Higgs masses.  An opportunity exists to improve the precision of our measurements of standard model processes via the program of high statistics studies of the Z, W, Higgs, and top allowed by a Higgs factory.  The accelerator could be ready for operation shortly after the end of HL-LHC running, and was recently recommended by the P5 panel as the highest priority future collider option.  In this talk, I present one of the Higgs factory options: the Future Circular Collider at CERN.  I will present the status of the machine, and some random facts that caught my interest that may be less familiar to those whose careers have centered on hadron collider physics.  I will talk about why I am very excited about this challenging physics program.
