This study presents constraints on primordial and debris disk evolution in Upper Scorpius, focusing on 205 stars from the FEPS collaboration. By examining stellar mass and age, we explore the prevalence of disk excesses at 8µm and 24µm across different stellar ages. Our findings indicate that primordial disks around low-mass stars last longer, with a significant reduction in 24µm excess fraction after 300 Myr. This research enhances our understanding of terrestrial planet formation, highlighting the timescales for gas dissipation and the evolution of dust in protoplanetary disks.
