The 100-kilometer Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) is meant to rival <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/556072/cern" target="_blank">CERN</a>’s plans for the Future Circular Collider (FCC) in Europe and would require only three years to complete following its potential commencement in 2027.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/china-has-plans-for-the-worlds-largest-particle-collider/" target="_blank"><em>Scientific American</em></a> informs us: “Many of the components that are planned for China’s mega machine are already being tested at other facilities in the country [...] Given that China is already home to a collider that is similar to the CEPC — the Beijing Electron Positron Collider — [and] IHEP might now have more expertise in this area than does CERN.”</p>
