3rd International Conference on New Frontiers in Physics

Overview of the CLIC detector and its physics potential

• Speaker: Marko Petric (CERN)
• Status: invited talk
• Abstract: The CLIC detector and physics study (CLICdp) is an international collaboration that investigates the physics potential of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). CLIC is a high-energy e+e- collider under development, aiming for centre-of-mass energies from a few hundred GeV to 3 TeV. In addition to physics simulations using full Monte Carlo studies including backgrounds, CLICdp performs cutting-edge hardware R&D. Vertex and tracking detector technology as well as calorimeters need to be pushed to the limit in order to fulfil the requirements for precision measurements at CLIC. This talk will present an introduction to the CLIC detector and discuss precision measurements and prospects of New Physics searches.
