| The '''Compact Linear Collider''' ('''CLIC''') is a concept for a future [[linear particle accelerator]] that aims to explore the next [[energy]] frontier. CLIC would collide [[electron]]s with [[positron]]s and is currently the only mature option for a multi-TeV linear [[collider]]. The accelerator would be between 11 and 50 km long, more than ten times longer than the existing Stanford Linear Accelerator ([[SLAC]]) in California, US. CLIC is proposed to be built at [[CERN]], across the border between [[France]] and [[Switzerland]] near [[Geneva]], with first [[Particle beam|beams]] starting by the time the [[Large Hadron Collider]] (LHC) has finished operations around 2035.

| The CLIC accelerator would use a novel two-beam acceleration technique at an [[acceleration]] [[gradient]] of 100 M[[volt|V]]/m, and its staged construction would provide [[collision]]s at three [[C.o.m.|centre-of-mass]] [[energy|energies]] up to 3 TeV for optimal [[physics]] reach. [[Research and development]] (R&D) are being carried out to achieve the high precision physics goals under challenging beam and [[background radiation|background]] conditions.

| CLIC aims to discover new physics beyond the [[Standard Model]] of particle physics, through precision [[measurement]]s of [[Standard Model]] properties as well as direct detection of new particles. The collider would offer high sensitivity to [[electroweak interaction|electroweak]] states, exceeding the predicted precision of the full LHC programme. The current CLIC design includes the possibility for electron beam [[polarization (waves)|polarisation]].
