SCT – Super Charm-Tau Factory

SCT – Super Charm-Tau Factory

  • Period of project implementation: 2020-2026
  • Costs and funding of the project: 37 billion RUB (roughly 480 million EUR); funding at institute level
  • Electron-positron collider facility with a centre-of-mass energy range of 2-6 GeV
  • Research: fundamental research in particle physics, e.g. study of charge conjugation parity symmetry violation, test of Standard Model with precision measurement of charmed particle and tau lepton decays

CREMLINplus related objectives of the SCT lepton collider

  • Setup a structured international collaboration around the SCT experiment
  • Increase the visibility of SCT in EU and global particle physics communities
  • Build and test prototypes for the main subsystems (tracking system, particle identification system, calorimeter, and muon system) of the SCT detector
  • Carry out joint European-Russian research and development on key accelerator components in synergy with other lepton collider initiatives such as CLIC and FCC in Europe
  • Develop software frameworks and data management systems for the SCT detector.
