Conceptual Design Report for the Advanced Plasma-Enhanced Collider (APEC)

The Advanced Plasma-Enhanced Collider (APEC) is a conceptual design for a next-generation particle accelerator achieving 100–150+ TeV energies in a 91 km ring. It integrates plasma wakefield acceleration in the injector, high-temperature superconducting magnets, muon upgrades, and quantum vacuum experiments like the dynamic Casimir effect. Version 2 strengthens safety with redundant quench protection, staged beam dumps, neutrino monitoring stations, plasma isolation valves, geological surveys, flexible tunnel segments, SMES storage, and heat recovery while preserving the original architecture. This report outlines the enhanced design, specifications, operational flow, and feasibility, building on ongoing projects like CERN’s AWAKE and FCC-hh studies.
