Plans Revealed for Enormous Particle Collider in China

Good luck to them, and to any nation that pushes the boundaries of pure science.<p>I do hope that they&#x27;ll be able to staff it, though; they still can&#x27;t get scientists to staff their mega radio telescope: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;science&#x2F;2018&#x2F;11&#x2F;china-still-having-trouble-staffing-up-its-mega-telescope&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;science&#x2F;2018&#x2F;11&#x2F;china-still-having-t...</a>

I am ignorant on this subject - when discoveries are made with the LHC are they made public or are they kept &#x27;secret&#x27; by its &#x27;owners&#x27;?<p>If they are made public, will another country investing in another one (or even a bigger one) discover anything that the European one hasn&#x27;t?

Not the best source for this. As in it&#x27;s light on details.<p>For one the LHC was designed to have a maximum collision energy of 14 TeV. The CEPC is designed for more like 70 TeV.<p>The goal of higher end is to make relatively infrequent products much more common. It says in the article they want to produce more Higgs bosons and this is how that happens.

If the western particle physics community goes along with that it would be pretty disappointing.

China really seems like the America of the 50s&#x2F;60s when it comes to science these days.

If their chief scientists start disappearing and their colliders suddenly malfunction, I’m going to be pretty disappointed. Trisolarans had better watch out, our Space Fleet is waiting for you this time.

Cool, let&#x27;s all protest about the inevitable cataclysm of microscopic black holes we were so worried about with CERN.
