The European nuclear research center in Geneva presented the results of the feasibility study for the particle accelerator called Future Circular Collider (FCC) on Tuesday. This ring-shaped accelerator with a circumference of 91 km is to succeed the current particle accelerator at Cern in the second half of the 2040s.
"It is very important to invest in science despite geopolitical conflicts," continued Director General Gianotti.
The more than 1,200-page feasibility study shows a solid scenario for the project, according to those responsible. Independent bodies are now to examine the report.
A final decision on whether the plant will actually be built is not expected to be made until 2028.
