Abstract
The Future Circular Collider (FCC) Study is aimed at assessing the physicspotential and the technical feasibility of a new collider with centre-of-massenergies, in the hadron-hadron collision mode, seven times larger than thenominal LHC energies. Operating such machine with heavy ions is an option thatis being considered in the accelerator design studies. It would provide, forexample, Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions at sqrt{s_NN} = 39 and 63 TeV, respectively,per nucleon-nucleon collision, with integrated luminosities above 30 nb^-1 permonth for Pb-Pb. This is a report by the working group on heavy-ion physics ofthe FCC Study. First ideas on the physics opportunities with heavy ions at theFCC are presented, covering the physics of the Quark-Gluon Plasma, of gluonsaturation, of photon-induced collisions, as well as connections with otherfields of high-energy physics.
