Abstract
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a high energy electron–positron collider with a maximal centre-of-mass energy of 3 TeV. In order to achieve high luminosity small bunches with high intensity are necessary. These lead to strong beam-beam forces, which create a challenging background environment. The accelerator concept and the detectors designed for CLIC are presented. Results from detector benchmark studies presented in the CLIC conceptual design report are summarised.
Highlights
A high-luminosity and high-energy electron–positron collider allows for precise measurements of Standard Model and Beyond Standard Model physics
Key issues have been identified in the accelerator Conceptual Design Report (CDR) for Compact Linear Collider (CLIC), and feasibility was successfully shown in CLIC Test Facility 3 (CTF3) and elsewhere
It has been shown that drive beam generation and two-beam acceleration is possible
Summary
A high-luminosity and high-energy electron–positron collider allows for precise measurements of Standard Model and Beyond Standard Model physics. The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is designed for electron–positron collisions at centre-of-mass energies of up to 3 TeV, and is offering a possible physics reach complementary to that of the LHC. In 2012 a Conceptual Design Report (CDR) for the CLIC accelerator, detailing the technological feasibility issues, will be published [1]. The report concentrates on a machine optimised for 3 TeV. The preferred energy, from a physics pointof-view, will be determined largely based on the results from the LHC. The feasibility of a detector operating in the conditions of the CLIC collider has been evaluated in a separate CDR volume [2]
