The CEPC, a next generation of electron positron circular collider with total tunnel length of roughly 100 km, was proposed by Chinese HEP community. It will be operated with center of mass energy from Z pole (91.2 GeV) up to ZH threshold (240 - 250 GeV), serving as a Higgs factory and a precision EW machine. In this phase, CEPC is expected to deliver 1 Million Higgs boson, 100 Million W boson and 10-100 Billion Z bosons in 10-15 years of operation.
In terms of Higgs measurement, CEPC could boost the precision of Higgs signal strength measurement by one order of magnitude w.r.t the HL-LHC result. Meanwhile, the Higgs width measurement and the exotic Higgs decay mode searches could be determined to 2-3 orders of magnitude better than the HL-LHC. In the EW measurement, the CEPC will mainly limited by the systematic control. Preliminary investigations shows that the EW precision could also be boosted by 1 order of magnitude at CEPC, w.r.t nowadays' result. The CEPC could be upgraded to the super proton proton collider (SPPC), with center of mass energy up to 100 TeV.
This talk will briefly introduce the physics potential, the project status and the expected detector performance of the CEPC project.
