PED Monthly Digest
A concise entry point to PED activities and workshops
September 15, 2026
You are currently viewing the very first PED Monthly Digest, bringing together announcements, recent news and useful resources from across the FCC “Physics, Experiments and Detectors” pillar work packages. We expect the format and content to evolve over time, but there’s already a lot happening within PED in the coming weeks. So, for now, sit back and enjoy the first edition!
