Overview of the Compact Linear Collider

The CLIC study is exploring the scheme for an electron-positron collider with a center-of-mass energy of 3 TeV in order to make the multi-TeV range accessible for lepton physics.

Description
Summary:The CLIC study is exploring the scheme for an electron-positron collider with a center-of-mass energy of 3 TeV in order to make the multi-TeV range accessible for lepton physics. The current goal of the project is to demonstrate the feasibility of the technology by the year 2010. Recently, important progress has been made concerning the high-gradient accelerating structure tests and the experiments with beam in the CLIC test facility, CTF3. Several important aspects of the project are dealt with through international collaborations, which has considerably boosted the CLIC study.
