Description
CLIC is a high-energy e+e- linear collider under development. It is based on a novel two beam accelerating scheme and has the capability to operate at centre-of-mass energies ranging from a few hundred GeV to 3 TeV. The talk will include a short introduction to the CLIC accelerator technology and the status of its development. The CLIC physics potential will be outlined: it includes high-precision Higgs measurements, top physics and searches for new physics phenomena; it is largely complementarity to LHC. The physics aims, together with the experimental conditions at CLIC, set challenging requirements for the detectors. The CLIC experiment concept under study and its detector technologies will be presented. The precision physics capabilies will be illustrated on the basis of detailed physics benchmark studies at different CLIC centre-of-mass energies.
