Can Future Colliders Break the Standard Model?
Season 6
Episode 25
In June 2020, the consortium of Europe’s top particle physicists published their vision for the next several years of particle physics experiments in the EU. A big part of that is the Future Circular Collider which will accelerate particles in a 100-kilometer circumference underground ring encircling Geneva. It’ll be nearly 4 times the size of the Large Hadron Collider. But will they succeed?
