2. SCT physics case: challenges for Particle Physics
► D-Dbar mixing
► CP violation searches in charm decays
► Rare and forbidden charm decays
► Standard Model tests in  leptons decays
► Searches for lepton flavor violation t→mg
► CP/T violation searches in  leptons decays
► …
high complementarity with
Belle-II at Super KEKB,
LHCb at LHC,
PANDA at FAIR,
first of all – flavor physics,
study of nucleon matter and antimatter, search for new phenomena
beyond the Standard Model.
SCT technology case: accelerator S&T
The concept of the new collider is based on a new method to increase the luminosity, which was proposed by physicists from INFN (Italy) and developed by INFN and BINP experts
Similar accelerator approaches are used at SCT, Super KEK-B and FCCe
Accelerator technologies developed for SCT are very demand for other Russian mega science projects: NICA, SSRS-4
Two rings, 800 m each
Crab waist
Collision energy from 2 GeV to 5 (6) GeV
Luminosity: 5·1034 cm-2s-1 at 2 GeV
and 1035 cm-2 s-1 at 4 GeV
Longitudinally polarized electron beam at IP
Extensive use of SC wigglers to control damping parameters and tune optimal luminosity in the whole energy range 2

4. SCT current status: operation and upgrade
of existing accelerator infrastructure
Budker Institute, with 2700 employers, is a one of the world's leading research centers in the field of PP, accelerator physics and technology, synchrotron radiation, free electron lasers, high-temperature plasma,
and controlled
thermonuclear fusion.
Since 2016 injection complex providing both BINP colliders VEPP-4M and VEPP-2000 with the electron and positron beams

5. SCT current status: expertise and partnership development
The conceptual design of the new facility, which had been developed at the BINP with the participation of Russian and foreign partners, was highly evaluated by Russian and foreign experts
Dedicated meeting of European Committee on Future Accelerators, ECFA in 2011 declared, in particular, that …Committee members are all convinced by the physics case of the SCT … Contribution of such a machine would further enhance the international role of Russia and attract a worldwide interest
In 2012, the SCT project got highest scores with specific recommendations of the Expert Group on the Assessment of EU Cooperation with Six Russian Federal Megascience Projects (European Commission, Directorate General for Research and Innovation): …this project would be an immensely appropriate project for Novosibirsk and it would give Russia a place at the table of a small club with world-class machines.

A number of countries and facilities have been formally involved in SCT to date (MoU/LoU, cooperation agreemnt etc.).
These include:
Switzerland (European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, Genève) – international organization
China (Institute of High Energy Physics, IHEP, Bejing)
Italy (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Frascati – INFN-LNF)
Japan (High Energy Accelerator Research Organization, KEK)
UK (John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science, JAL) …
International scientific organizations (CERN, JINR) and authoritative and prominent scientists (among them – Atsuto Suzuki, Rolf Heuer, Tatsuya Nakada, and Nobel Prize Winner in Physics Martin Perl) have expressed their support for the SCT.

6. SCT current status: executive progress
In 2011, the SCT project became one of the six mega-science class projects selected by a Governmental Commission for implementation on the territory of the Russian Federation.
In June 2017, the SCT project is included in the plan for the implementation of the first phase of the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation (activity: formation of international collaborations, completion of design, feasibility study – should be completed till October, 2019)
A number of agreements between Russian research organizations for development and creation of new mega-science facilities on the territory of the Russian Federation are signed
Support from EU – grant CREMLIN (Connecting Russian and European Measures for Large-scale Research Infrastructures), , in partnership with CERN
Preliminary road map and CDR are prepared, this work is go on with expanding participation of Russian and international community

7. SCT road map of construction
SCT is expected to have a life span of at least 15 years,
it may be expanded to more than 25 years

9. SCT current status: R&D funding
The funding required for the construction was very preliminary estimated in as 400 mln. Euros. It should include contributions from the Russian Federal budget, foreign partners and non-budgetary sources. Construction of a social infrastructure in the local area is foreseen with local business involvement. 
Till now more than 2 bln. Rbls (37 mln. Euros) were already spent for R&D of the project (both detector and collider) as well as related engineering infrastructure (50/50 budget and off-budget funds), including injector complex (positron source), buildings and tunnels.
In August, 2017, the Russian Ministry of Education and Science and Budker Institute signed an agreement for an amount of about 0,2 bln. Rbls (3 mln. Euros) for the period , which foresees the development and upgrade of the accelerator complex of BINP and the creation of scientific and technical groundwork for the implementation of the SCT
Apart from that, SCT R&D is supported in part by:
mega-grant of Russian Science Foundation (0,8 bln. Rbls for the period , nearly 20% - SCT R&D),
Russian Government Grant for Leading Scientists 14 W (90 mln. Rbls for the period , nearly 30% - SCT R&D), …

10. Summary and conclusions
Active work on the SCT project with the record luminosity is being under way at Budker Institute for already a few years.
During this time the physics program of experiments with the new facility was developed. It was shown that the realization of the project will allow solving a number of fundamental physics problems unachievable by other facilities.
First edition of detailed conceptual design report of the accelerator complex and the detector of the SCT was issued a few years ago, it is now under update process.
A number of prototypes of accelerator key elements were designed and produced. Designing of buildings, facilities and other infrastructure has begun.
The new injection complex for the future facility has been built and put into operation.
Budker Institute continues to work toward defining policies and developing priorities for international partnerships & collaborations of the SCT project.
