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 $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ 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 $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ collisions at CLIC are expected around 2035, following the High-Luminosity phase of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

arXiv commentThe article presents an up-to-date overview of the CLIC project for a general audience as presented to the 2020 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics
