The 2013 study group aims to evaluate the feasibility of a high‑energy CEPC as a Higgs/Z factory and a subsequent SPPC, and to form an international collaboration once sufficient progress or government funding is achieved, with detailed accelerator design and civil engineering outlined in RD Volume 2. A provisional organization and management team of mainly Chinese physicists was established to guide the initial study, with preliminary content focused on the CEPC and plans for formal CDR and TDR work to follow.
A study group was formed in Beijing in September 2013 to investigate the feasibility of a high energy Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) as a Higgs and/or Z factory, and a subsequent Super proton-proton Collider (SPPC). A provisional organization structure and a management team, consisted mostly of Chinese physicists, were established to guide the initial study [1]. The group aims at establishing an international collaboration on CEPC-SPPC after sufficient progress has been made in China or it has been given government funding for RD Volume 2 describes the CEPC accelerator design and SPPC consideration, and the associated civil engineering [2]. The contents presented are preliminary and are predominately focused on the CEPC. Formal CDR and TDR work will follow.
