Scientists in China have released details for a huge particle collider that will produce over a million Higgs bosons in a seven-year period. This report outlines the technical details of the accelerator. A second volume, featuring details of the CEPC detectors, is due to be released soon. The conceptual design report for the China Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) calls for a 100 km underground tunnel that would smash together electrons and positrons at energies of 240 GeV… read more.
Planning ahead: physicists at Beijing’s Institute of High Energy Physics are supporting a plan to build a huge 100 km circular collider in China to study the Higgs boson in unprecedented detail. (Courtesy: IHEP)
