| ABSTRACT: |
CLIC is a proposed electron-positron linear collider operating at centre-of-mass energies of up to 3 TeV. It is based on a novel two beam acceleration scheme. The physics and detector volume of the CLIC Conceptual Design Report was recently published.
An overview will be given of the physics potential at a high energy electron-positron collider. The experimental conditions at a 3 TeV CLIC machine and the resulting requirements for the detectors will be shown in detail. Two detector concepts are currently under study for CLIC, which were derived from the ILD and SiD designs for the 500 GeV International Linear Collider. The specific detector challenges at CLIC include an ultra-thin vertex detector with high resolution and fast time-stamping, and hadronic calorimetry using dense absorbers. Results of selected physics benchmark studies to demonstrate the overall performance of the CLIC detector concepts will be discussed. Finally, the main issues for the future R&D programme will be highlighted. |
