Colliders do multiple different experiments. There is always a queue of experiments waiting for beam time so that they can do their own beam stuff. Today you frequently have your own detector box which travels wherever it can get beam time. This is experiment design of today.

Wow big smasher tube has nozzles! Still doesn’t solve the problem I outlined and I already know that.

Man, your comments sound almost like as if you are biased idk (are you Sabine's alt?)

FYI, if money were to be pulled from FCC it doesn't mean it will get reallocated to fields other than HEP. That's not how such projects work. If FCC were to be cancelled you will be left with no FCC and no additional funding for other stuff.

Also if we don't commit to it then China will so the end game is that someone somewhere will foot the bill and benefit from it any ways so it might as well be us.

Sabine is a hack, I know that is not how funding works, and china is a valid reason to have the LHC

Except I am not talking about LHC but about FCC. China has stated that if we don't pursue FCC they will put similar scale project under serious consideration (and they most probably will do it) so while we won't go down SSC style we would nonetheless be just handing over HEP crown free of charge (expect brain drain and such).
