Towards CLIC feasibility

The CLIC study is a site independent study exploring technological developments to extend linear colliders into the Multi-TeV colliding beam energy range at reasonable cost and power consumption. A conceptual design report (CDR) of an electron-positron Compact LInear Collider (CLIC) in the Multi-TeV energy range up to 3 TeV centre-of-mass colliding beam energy is being prepared including results of 25 years of R&D to address the feasibility of its novel and promising technology, especially in an ambitious Test Facility, CTF3. The R&D is performed by a multi-lateral CLIC/CTF3 collaboration strong of 38 volunteer institutes from 19 countries.
