Lucie Linssen, a CERN physicist since 1986, and Steinar Stapnes, Head of Research and Development Activities for the Compact Linear Collider, present the CLIC project within the lecture series “CERN Restarts the LHC and Prepares for Its Future”. Drawing on their experience in the design of future accelerators and detectors, they examine one of the main proposals for extending research in particle physics.
Designed to complement the results obtained by the Large Hadron Collider, CLIC would use advanced acceleration technologies to produce high-energy electron-positron collisions. The session provides an overview of its scientific opportunities, the challenges involved in building its acceleration and detection systems and the planning required for a possible implementation. It also explores its potential as a future major research infrastructure for studying phenomena that the LHC

The BBVA Foundation and CERN jointly organise the lecture series “CERN Restarts the LHC and Prepares for Its Future”. The programme addresses current and future challenges in particle physics, the restart of the accelerator at unprecedented energy levels and CERN’s strategy in high-energy and nuclear physics, as well as the role of technologies, computing systems and data processing in large-scale scientific infrastructures.
