Abstract

In response to a request from the CERN Scientific Policy Committee (SPC), the machine parameters and expected luminosity performance for several proposed post-LHC collider projects at CERN are compiled: three types of hadron colliders (HL-LHC upgrade, FCC-hh and HE-LHC), a circular lepton collider (FCC-ee), a linear lepton collider (CLIC), and three options for lepton-hadron colliders (LHeC, HE-LHeC, and FCC-eh). Particular emphasis is put on availability, physics run time, and efficiency. The information contained in this document was presented at the SPC Meeting of September 2018. It will serve as one of the inputs to the 2019/20 Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics.
