Physics at the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC)

• Status: Invited
• Abstract: The CLIC project is at present the most mature future e+e- collider project planned to be hosted by CERN. It is foreseen as a linear electron-positron collider with an energy reach at the multi-TeV scale. The staged physics program at CLIC accommodates precision Higgs measurements at the lower center-of-mass energy of 380 GeV in a model-independent way, as well as the top-quark measurements at the production threshold. The higher energies of 1.5 TeV and 3 TeV enable measurements of the top-quark Yukawa coupling and the Higgs boson self-coupling. The higher center-of-mass energies provide indirect sensitivity to beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM) physics, as well as to direct searches in most of the available BSM scenarios. The talk will review what can be expected in terms of precision and/or kinematic reach in Higgs and BSM searches at CLIC.
