Progress in physics depends on the amount and quality of relevant experimental and observational data. The Standard Model combines quantum field theory for electromagnetism and nuclear forces with general relativity for gravity, while including particles, dark matter, and dark energy as the Universe’s energy content. This framework is supported by extensive evidence but cannot cover everything in the Universe. Many puzzles remain, including the nature of dark matter and dark energy, CP-violation issues in strong and weak interactions, the details of the electroweak phase transition, the existence of new particles at the electroweak scale, and how precisely known particles match Standard Model predictions. Particle physics progress has relied on frontier data collection, and with the LHC nearing end-of-life, a future collider is proposed. The CERN Council updated the European Strategy for Particle Physics by recommending construction of the Future Circular Collider, an electron-positron collider.
"However, after two years of work, the CERN Council has just updated the European Strategy for Particle Physics: recommending the construction of a new flagship project, the Future Circular Collider (FCC), an all-new electron-positron collider."
