4th FCC Physics and Experiments Workshop
The event will be held in remote-only mode. The links to the zoom rooms for the various sessions are provided at the bottom of this page.
The 4th FCC Physics and Experiments workshop is part of the FCC November Week 2020, which will address the mandate issued by the update of the ESPP: "Europe, together with its international partners, should investigate the technical and financial feasibility of a future hadron collider at CERN with a centre-of-mass energy of at least 100 TeV and with an electron-positron Higgs and electroweak factory as a possible first stage. Such a feasibility study of the colliders and related infrastructure should be established as a global endeavour and be completed on the timescale of the next Strategy update."
This new edition of the FCC Physics and Experiments Workshop will follow these strong strategic statements. It will feature the most recent results appeared in the literature on the study of the physics prospects of the Future Circular Collider project. On the experimental side, it will propose new activities aimed at the development of the detectors and collaborations for FCC-ee. Starting from physics benchmark measurements and the corresponding detector requirements, new ideas and challenges will be raised in the development of detector designs and technologies, of the experimental environment, and of the machine-detector interface.
