CERN is putting plans in place to build a successor to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Possible options for the next generation of colliders will be discussed at the University of Geneva next week. |
There are plans for a massive circular collider – with a circumference of 80–100 km – that would accelerate protons to energies of about 100 TeV! The LHC has a 27 km circumference and can collide protons with energies up to about 7 TeV.
