CERN has approved a new 100 km long particle accelerator

Aiming to learn as much as possible about the Higgs particle, CERN approved plans for a huge $ 100 billion particle accelerator worth $ 23 billion.

CERN approved the plans for of a new particle accelerator, with a budget of 23 billion dollars, with a circumference of 100 kilometers. The new accelerator will make the current of 27 kilometers to look like his little sister.

The new accelerator will be called the Future Circular Collider (FCC) and will crush particles with over 100 TeV (the existing one is 16 TeV) to create many more mysterious Higgs bosons, detected for for the first time since CERN in 2012. He the new accelerator will become the to help physicists learn more about dark matter and its other mysteries Standard Standard of physics.

"Such a machine would produce plenty of Higgs bosons in a very clean environment, make dramatic progress in mapping the different interactions of the Higgs boson with other particles, and allow extremely high-precision measurements," the press release said. .

Until now and until the new accelerator is built, CERN has as its current priority the completion of the current accelerator (LHC) upgrade with NbSn superconducting magnets. This would create many more collisions than the LHC can now, increasing the chances of seeing Higgs bosons and other rare particles.

The future accelerator will be built in two stages. In the first stage it will be able to crush electrons and positrons to maximize the production of Higgs bosons so that scientists can obtain more accurate data on the particles. In the second stage it will be transformed into a 100 TeV proton accelerator that will collide with other protons, and will be designed to create new particles that could expand or even replace the Standard Template of physics.

The goal is to start the construction of the new one ς έως το 2038, αλλά υπάρχει ένα τεράστιο εμπόδιο: τα χρήματα. Το νέο έργο είναι τόσο ακριβό που το CERN θα χρειαστεί να αναζητήσει χρηματοδότηση εκτός των κρατών μελών της ΕΕ. Αντ'αυτού, μπορεί να χρειαστεί να δημιουργήσει έναν παγκόσμιο οργανισμό που να περιλαμβάνει τις ΗΠΑ, την Κίνα και την Ιαπωνία.

A hard bargain is likely to be made, especially as the new accelerator does not have as clear a goal as the existing LHC accelerator. However, particle physics and the Standard Model require the validation of theories. We know that the only way to find answers is with experimentation and the only place to find them is where we are not yet able to look.
