Physics What is the most important physics measurement for CLIC to make? There are many interesting physics measurements that can be made at CLIC, and we might not know which ones are important until afterwards! Unexplained new physics from LHC data would certainly be a priority. Higgs measurements complementary to LHC results are also particularly…

Detector What is the general design of the CLIC detector? The CLIC detector is actually a series of sub-detectors, working together to record the event. The different detectors fit together in concentric layers, with the collision happening at the centre. The inner layers are for particle tracking. They are very thin and light, so as…

Beams What particles make up the beams? Why these particles? Why polarise electrons? The CLIC beams will be made of point-like particles: electrons (in one beam) and positrons (in the other beam). These two particles are matter-antimatter partners. When they come into contact in the collision they will annihilate each other, liberating all their energy…
