IAS Fundamental Physics Seminar Series - Status of the Future Circular Collider (FCC) and the European Strategy for Particle Physics Process

Abstract
The European Strategy in Particle Physics, has put in 2020 an e+e- factory as first priority and recommended that Europe, together with its international partners, should investigate the technical and financial feasibility of a future hadron collider at CERN with a centre-of-mass energy of at least 100 TeV, and with an electron-positron Higgs and electroweak factory as a possible first stage. Such a feasibility study of the colliders has now been completed. The speaker will present in this seminar some FCC feasibility study results, and the FCC physics potential, in particular for the FCC-ee first step, which is seen by many as necessary to optimize the FCC physics case and to cover in the best way the foreseeable future for Higgs, Electroweak, Heavy Flavor, and Top physics up to 365 GeV in the center of mass. The speaker will then present the status of European Strategy update, following the Venice open Symposium and give some outlook.
