CERN’s plan for 100-km collider makes the LHC look like a hula hoop

The large hadron collider has produced an incredible amount of scientific data, including the Higgs boson – but physicists at CERN, the international organization behind the LHC, are already looking forward to the next model. And the proposed circular collider, about 100 kilometers away, would be a considerable step forward. The idea is not new; CERN people have been interested in it for years. But the design report released today shows that the consultation was not in vain: there is a relatively consistent and practical plan – as practical as a particle collector – and a decent case for spending
