Super Charm-Tau factory
Future electron–positron collider in Novosibirsk, Russia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Super Charm-Tau factory (SCT) is an electron–positron collider being designed and built by Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk. Its main goal is to study the CP-violation in the processes involving charmed hadrons, to investigate decays of the τ-lepton as well as to search for new forms of matter: glueballs, dark matter, etc.[1][2]

In the SCT the center of mass energy of colliding electrons and positrons will be 2–6 GeV while the luminosity will reach as high as 2×1035 cm−2·s−1. The electrons will be partially polarized. The synchrotron will be operating for 10 years. The particle registration and measurements will done using a universal high performance magnetic detector with the field strength of 1–1.5 tesla.[1]
The SCT project is one Megascience class projects being built in Russia.[3]
