The Compact Linear Collider: Physics Potential
摘要
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a proposed TeV-scale linear electron-positron collider based on a novel two-beam acceleration technology. With its high luminosity and a broad energy range, from 380 GeV to 3 TeV, CLIC presents a mature option for a future Higgs factory and discovery machine. Detailed studies of the CLIC physics potential have been performed, mostly based on full Geant4 simulations using a dedicated detector concept, CLICdet. In this contribution, a general introduction to the CLIC programme and highlights of CLIC physics studies are reported.
