FCC Infrastructure & Operation studies: progress and outlook Philippe Lebrun, CERN on behalf of the FCC Infrastructure & Operation Working Group FCC Week 2015 Washington D.C., March 2015
Scope The physics, detector and accelerator physics & technology parts of the FCC conceptual design are essentially site-independent They are to be complemented by a study of the implantation and infrastructure for the 80 km to 100 km perimeter ring in the neighbourhood of CERN This would permit optimal re-use of the existing infrastructure, a strong asset of a CERN-based FCC The study should also address integration, installation, computing and control, as well as operational aspects including reliability/availability, power/energy consumption and safety Together with the detector and accelerator parts of the FCC conceptual design, the infrastructure study is an essential input to the cost, schedule and risk assessments, as well as to the future environmental impact assessment Ph.
