Description

Having completed the Standard Model but with several important questions still unanswered, the broadest search for leads towards new physics must be undertaken.
Starting from a very precise, high luminosity Z, W, Higgs and top e+e- factory, the Future Circular Colliders based on the CERN infrastructure of circular tunnels complemented with a 100 km ring passing under Lac Léman, will offer the possibility to continue with 100 TeV pp collisions, but also heavy ions or e-p collisions, and possibly 10-20 TeV µ+µ- collider. The physics highlights of this possible series of powerful physics instruments will be described, within the limits of today's imagination.
