Description

The Super Tau-Charm Facility (STCF) is a new-generation high-luminosity electron-positron collider proposed in China. It will operate in an energy range of 2-7 GeV with a luminosity higher than 0.5*10^35 cm^2 s^-1 at 4 GeV. The STCF can produce a large number of hadrons and tau leptons in a clean environment, serving as a unique and powerful tool for studying how quarks form hadrons to understand the quark confinement, as well as revealing the mystery of the space-time symmetry of fundamental interactions with unprecedented precision. The STCF physics program covers a broad spectrum of physics topics, placing stringent demands on the performance of the STCF accelerator and detector. The STCF detector and accelerator conceptual designs have been completed and published. A full accelerator and detector technology R&D program was established and has been progressing rapidly. In this report, the STCF physics program will be introduced following an overview of the STCF project. The STCF accelerator and detector conceptual designs and R&D progress will then be presented.
