A high energy linear e+e- collider has been considered as a possible
option
for CERN as a post-LHC
machine, see e.g. the report
"Options for Future Colliders at CERN"
by J. Ellis, E. Keil, G. Rolandi, (CERN-SL-98-004).
Within the framework of the
"world-wide collaboration on
Linear Colliders", the CLIC study explores the technical feasibility
of
beam acceleration by travelling wave structures at room temperature and
high frequency (30 GH
z) powered from a drive beam,
the so-called Two Beam Acceleration scheme. The design luminosity for
e+/e- collisions at a c
entre of mass of 3 TeV is 10^35
cm-2 sec-1. Polarisation, e-e- and gamma-gamma collisions are also
considered as an option.

In February 2000 the Proposal for a Physics Study Group for the CLIC
Multi-TeV Linear Collider was endorsed by the CERN management.
The aim of the study group is to provide feedback from physics channel
anlyses
requirements to the CLIC machine study group, and in the longer term
prepare the physics case for a
Multi-TeV Linear Collider. A description of the aim can be found
here .
Persons interested to join this study group should contact either
Daniel
SchulteAlbert De
Roeck
to be added to the mailing list.
The CLIC physics study group meets every second week on Wednesday morning
9:00
in building 6, room 2-002 close to the
PS_auditorium. The agenda of the next meeting can be found
here .
The minutes of previous meetings can be found
here.
Consult the act
ivity list for more details.
A general public meeting is planned in May 2000.
A European Study on Linear Colliders has been active for the last few
years,
in terms of an
ECFA/DESY Workshop
