CHAPTER

Exploring the Future Circular Collider and Particle Acceleration at CERN

The chapter discusses the proposed Future Circular Collider (FCC), a particle accelerator larger than the Large Hadron Collider, in the quest to explore new physics and overcome the limitations of the standard model. It explains the process of particle acceleration at CERN, from separating protons to accelerating them through various machines like the linear accelerator, proton synchrotron, and Large Hadron Collider. The chapter also highlights the importance of particle collisions in circular colliders, multiple collision points, and the operational cycle of particle accelerators for experiments.
