Supercolliders: Four Ways Engineers Aim to Break Physics

Very recommendable! Notice how China is catching up in this area too!

"In particle physics, the smallest problems often require the biggest solutions [and gigantic machines]."

Supercolliders: Four Ways Engineers Aim to Break Physics - IEEE Spectrum "A quarkless supercollider may finally shed light on dark matter"


The Standard Model of particle physics is the current best theory of all the understood matter and forces in our universe (except gravity). The model works extremely well, but scientists also know that it is incomplete. The next generation of supercolliders might give a glimpse at what’s beyond the Standard Model.

FCC-ee would be a 91-km ring spanning underneath Switzerland and France, near the current Large Hadron Collider.
One of the proposed locations for the CEPC is near the northern port city of Qinhuangdao, where the 100 km circumference collider would be buried underground.
