The CEPC input for the European Strategy for Particle Physics - Accelerator

In this manuscript, we provide a summary of accelerator design and the key challenges of the CEPC accelerator, both of which are laid out in detail in the Conceptual Design Report (CDR) released in November 2018. We also outline future directions and challenges. In the Addendum, we briefly describe the planning and the international organization of the CEPC. The next step for the CEPC team is to perform detailed technical design studies. Effective international collaboration would be crucial at this stage. This submission for consideration by the ESPP is part of our dedicated effort in seeking international collaboration and support.
