CLIC Accelerated R&D

An accelerated R&D programme to demonstrate the key feasibility issues of the CLIC scheme before 2010 was approved by the CERN Council in March 2004. This report describes the activities, extra resources and time schedule to complete this programme. The activities are presented in the form of work-packages. Laboratories, Universities and Funding Agencies around the world have been invited by the CERN DG to participate in the programme by taking full technical responsibility for part, complete or several work packages and/or providing voluntary contributions "a la carte", in cash, in kind and/or in man-power. The intention is to set-up a multi-lateral collaboration between all laboratories interested in such a development.
