Premiered August 24, 2020
Can Future Colliders Break the Standard Model?

In June 2020, the consortium of Europe’s top particle physicists published their vision for the next several years of particle physics experiments in the EU. A big part of that is the Future Circular Collider which will accelerate particles in a 100-kilometer circumference underground ring encircling Geneva. It’ll be nearly 4 times the size of the Large Hadron Collider. But will they succeed?
