The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a proposed TeV-scale high-luminosity linear particle accelerator aiming to explore the next energy frontier. CLIC is an international project hosted by CERN and consists of more than 75 institutes in more than 30 countries.
The CLIC project features of two collaborations: the CLIC detector and physics collaboration (CLICdp), and the CLIC accelerator study.
