FCC physics studies
The HEP@VUB centre has been involved with the physics studies on the Future Circular Collider (FCC). This project uses a staged approach, in which a new, 100-km tunnel is first used for electron-positron collisions (FCC-ee), after which the complex is upgraded to collide hadrons (FCC-hh).
