Super Charm-Tau factory (SCT) is an electronâÂÂpositron 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 ÃÂ-lepton as well as to search for new forms of matter: glueballs, dark matter, etc.
In the SCT the center of mass energy of colliding electrons and positrons will be 2âÂÂ6 GeV while the luminosity will reach as high as . 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 1âÂÂ1.5 tesla.
The SCT project is one Megascience class projects being built in Russia.
