The FCC-ee collider is designed to provide extreme precision measurements of electro-weak parameters running at various center of mass energies: Z pole, WW pair, Z plus Higgs boson and top quark pair production. This machine is expected to deliver an unprecedented luminosity, more than three orders of magnitude of that achieved by LEP at comparable energy, with beam features much different...
Dual-Readout calorimetry is a technique that allows to overcome the non- compensation problem (one of the main limiting factor for the hadronic energy resolution) by the simultaneous measurement of Cherenkov and scintillation light, produced by the shower particles. Thanks to the expected good energy resolution and the excellent particle identification capability, the Dual-Readout fiber...
FCC-ee is designed to operate at energies from 45.6 up to 182.5 GeV with unprecedented luminosity. This brings some challenges in controlling the emission of synchrotron radiation (SR) photons. A scheme of tungsten shielding has been developed to minimize this effect on the detector backgrounds.
The FCC-ee experiments will collect an unprecedented amount of data at sqrt s = 240 and 360 GeV. The Higgs bosons are produced in very large numbers, either in association with a Z boson or through W-boson fusion, and are detected in several decay channels. The production yields are combined to measure the Higgs couplings and invisible width with sub-percent precision. The precision obtained...
The Standard Model of particle physics is still lacking an understanding of the generation and nature of neutrino masses. A favorite theoretical scenario (the see-saw mechanism) is that both Dirac and Majorana mass terms are present, leading to the existence of heavy partners of the light neutrinos, presumably massive and nearly sterile. These heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) can be searched for...
By collecting tens of ab^-1 integrated luminosity in the range of center-of-mass energies sqrt(s) =90--350 GeV, the FCC-ee offers unique physics opportunities for precise measurements of QCD phenomena and of photon-photon collisions through, literally, billions of hadronic final states as well as unprecedented large fluxes of quasireal photons radiated from the e+e- beams. We succinctly...
