Editorial use only. This image may not be used to state or imply endorsement by CERN of any product, activity or service Future Circular Collider (FCC), schematic satellite map. North is at left. The FCC (green circle) is a possible future collider that would expand on the work done by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC, white circle). The energies attained by the FCC would be around 30 times that of the LHC, which is shown at upper centre. This map shows the areas of Switzerland and France (border shown in yellow) where the FCC would be built, forming a ring some 80 to 100 kilometres in length compared to the 27 kilometres of the LHC. At left is Lake Geneva, with Geneva at centre. Other particle accelerators shown include the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) and the Proton Synchrotron (PS). The FCC concept has been proposed by CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) since 2013, with a conceptual design report produced in 2019. Image published in 2019.
