International symposium on Future Circular Collider technologies
The University of Liverpool, in collaboration with CERN, is organising the ‘Particle Colliders – Accelerating Innovation’ Symposium on Future Circular Collider (FCC) technologies. This event will be a public display of the FCC study and will take place at the Liverpool Arena and Convention Centre on 22 March 2019.
The largest machine in the World, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been an unparalleled source of technological development and innovation as well as a major contributor to our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the Universe.
Now, scientists from all over the World are collaborating to design the accelerator that may replace the LCH once it has completed its operational lifetime. The Future Circular Collider will push back the current energy and luminosity frontiers in order to extend the search of new particles and interactions well beyond the LHC.
The future of particle physics, advanced accelerator technology, and the opportunities for industry in the FCC will be discussed at this one-day international symposium.
The symposium will feature:
- Talks by keynote speakers about industry opportunities and the future or particle accelerators.
- An industry exhibition highlighting the latest technologies and market-ready products.
- Hands-on activities for the general public, including the LHC Interactive Tunnel, and the Tactile Collider.
- The photographic display ‘The Code of the Universe’.
The symposium will be accompanied by a workshop in the afternoon to explore the opportunities for co-innovation between academia and industry.
The Co-Innovation Workshop will focus on the strategic R&D programme of the FCC, including the technological developments envisaged within the project and the benefits for companies in terms of project involvement and product commercialisation.
The ‘Particle Colliders – Accelerating Innovation’ Symposium offers a unique opportunity to get involved in one of the largest scientific and technological endeavours of the 21st century.
