Abstract

The Future Circular Collider (FCC-hh) is a proposed successor of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). FCC-hh would push both the energy and intensity frontiers of searches for new physics particles. In particular, due to higher energy and luminosity than at the LHC, at FCC-hh there would be produced around  ⁣30\simeq\!30 times larger amount of BB mesons and 120\simeq 120 times of WW bosons, which then may decay into feebly interacting particles. In this paper we demonstrate the potential of FCC-hh by studying its sensitivity to heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) with masses mN<mBm_{N}<m_{B}. We consider various locations of a displaced decay volume embedded in the planned infrastructure of FCC-hh. We demonstrate that FCC-hh may substantially improve the reach of the parameter space of HNLs as compared to the searches proposed at the LHC.
