From precision physics to the energy frontier with the Compact Linear Collider
Abstract
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a proposed high-luminosity collider that would collide electrons with their antiparticles, positrons, at energies ranging from a few hundred Giga-electronvolts (GeV) to a few Tera-electronvolts (TeV). By covering a large energy range and by ultimately reaching multi-TeV collisions, scientists at CLIC aim to improve the understanding of nature's fundamental building blocks and to discover new particles or other physics phenomena. CLIC is an international project with institutes world-wide participating in the accelerator, detector and physics studies. First collisions at CLIC are expected around 2035, following the High-Luminosity phase of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
