Future Circular Colliders: a long term vision for particle physics with a focus on flavour physics
This talk will introduce the Future Circular Colliders project and its Feasibility Study. The FCC project features a 90 km long tunnel in the Geneva basin where an electron-positron collider crossing four relevant electroweak thresholds (Z, WW, HZ and tt) shall be installed first. A longer term energy frontier proton collider, defining the infrastructures, is envisaged to be hosted in the very same tunnel. The exquisite luminosity of the electron circular machine at each energy can challenge the electroweak observables precision consistency test and offer, in particular at the Z pole but not only there, a continuation of the exploration of the Flavour Physics case beyond the vibrant LHCb and Belle II programmes. We’ll review these Physics opportunities and discuss some of the related detector requirements and detector R&D.

Neuronal cell nuclei are shown in yellow for the granule neurons in the dentate gyrus region of the hippocampus. Blood vessels are shown in red. By changing the X-ray optical magnification in the multi-scale recordings, one can zoom into regions-of-interest (red ovals). In these scans the resolution is high enough to resolve sub-structures of the nucleus, associated with different DNA packing regimes.
