Future Circular Collider

FCC Software

Physics software for the Future Circular Collider.

About

FCC Software provides a set of software packages, tools, and standards to help different FCC physics efforts work together. The software ecosystem of the FCC fully employs Key4hep stack and is one of its main stakeholders.

Signpost

The FCC Software ecosystem spans many sites, repositories and packages. The list of links bellow tries to offer a starting point.

All developments happen in github.com/HEP-FCC and github.com/key4hep. The best place to check for detailed information on a specific package thus is usually its homepage / Github repository page.
