A collaboration on fire safety matters was launched in 2015 among five laboratories and a university. Three workshops have already taken place and a fourth one is scheduled for May 2016. Differently from ordinary buildings, fire safety objectives for peculiar facilities such as the FCC are validated through performance-based fire risk assessments. The work packages (WP) defined are: fire...

The Future Circular Collider (FCC) will face conventional safety challenges throughout its life-cycle, from fire prevention in an unprecedented large underground facility to environmental protection. The general safety studies for the underground areas progressed in line with the advancement on the baseline tunnel layout as well as advanced concepts in different fields of the FCC study. The...

The ideas and concepts for the Future Circular Collider have further progressed in 2015. Baseline parameters for the FCC are known and ideas in different fields are converging to viable options. Radiation Protection studies accompany the discussions on civil engineering layout, HVAC aspects and material optimisation in the different parts of the FCC study.
The talk will provide the current...

Reaching the challenging integrated luminosity production goals of a future circular hadron collider (FCC-hh) and High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) requires careful design for high machine availability. However, the identification of the key factors that impact availability and cost is far from obvious due to the unparalleled complexity of such machines. A dedicated activity has been launched in...

The FCC Beam Dump architecture will be a configuration with a high amount of kicker
magnets, even though a final FCC Beam Dump architecture has not yet been decided upon.
One of the concepts being studied is the use of 300 kicker magnets to safely extract and
dilute the beam onto an external absorber block. Independently of the exact extraction
scheme and geometry, it is already clear that...
