Sumario:Following the recommendation of the European Strategy Group for Particle Physics, the Future Circular Collider (FCC) study was launched by CERN to investigate circular collider designs for a post-LHC era. Among the studied collider designs is a hadron- collider option aiming to collide proton at a center of mass energy of 100 TeV. This hadron collider option (FCC-hh) follows a similar layout as the LHC with two high luminosity experimental insertions, meant to complement each other and two low lumi- nosity experiments. This thesis studies the option of combining these low luminosity experiments with the injection in the FCC-hh. Using a contrary design approach to the combined insertion in the LHC and taking into account the constraint from the injection a layout was developed. The goal when developing the beam optics for the insertion was to achieve the lowest possible beam size in the interaction point to guarantee a high event rate. Furthermore, the impact of magnetic field errors in the magnets of this insertion on the beam stability was studied and are discussed in this thesis. In addition, a possible strategy is then presented which would allow to further increase the event rate.
