A key challenge in designing a future collider like those being explored as part of the FCC study is ensuring that the operation of such a complex technical infrastructure remains reliable and affordable.
To meet these challenges, CERN has recently signed an R&D agreement with Ramentor Oy. In a three-year project, engineers from CERN, Ramentor and other institutes participating in the Future Circular Collider study will develop a tool to assess the effectiveness of different designs and operation schedules for large technical systems.
