2 The CLIC accelerator
Currently there are two TeV-scale linear e+e− colliders under development, CLIC [3] and ILC [4].
Both machines are designed for high luminosities, of the order of 1034 cm−2sec−1. The ILC uses
superconducting RF cavities, while CLIC usesa two-beam accelerator scheme at room temperature
(Fig1). Ahighcurrent(∼100A)low-energydrive-beamservesasanRFsourceforthelow-current

4 CLIC detector concept
4.1 ImpactofCLICconditionsonthedetector
The presence of beam-induced backgrounds impacts on the detector design. The e+e− pairs from
incoherentpairproductiongiverisetohighoccupanciesincertainregionsofthedetector,inparticular
theforwardcalorimetry,thevertexdetectorandtheinnertrackingregions. Inthevertexandtracking
detectors, high occupancies can be mitigated by appropriate shielding for back-scattered particles
from the very forward regions and by the use of very small cell sizes, sometimes even smaller than
strictlyneededfordetectorresolutionpurposes. Backgroundparticlesfromγγ→hadroneventslead
to significant energy depositions in the calorimeter systems, at the level of 20 TeV per bunch train
at3TeVcentre-of-massenergy. Aschemehasbeendevelopedtosuppresstheseenergydepositions
in the data. The scheme relies on precise hit timing, at the level of 1ns in the calorimetry and 10
ns in the tracking, combined with fine-grained calorimetry. This allows to reconstruct all particles,
whetherfrombackgroundorfromthephysicseventunderstudy,usingparticleflowanalysis. Inthis
waythetimeofcreationofeachparticlecanbecalculatedveryaccurately,allowingfortherejection
ofout-of-timeparticlesthatdonotmatchthetimeofthephysicsevent.

4.2.1 Momentumresolution
OneofthephysicssubjectstobediscussedinSection5isHigsstrahlung,e+e− → HZ. Thisprocess,
in which the Higgs is reconstructed as the particle recoiling off the Z in the final state, is unique in
allowing a model-independent determination of Higgs mass and coupling without any assumptions
abouttheinvisibledecayoftheHiggs. TheZ wouldbereconstructedfromitsmuondecayandthus

4.2.2 Jet-energyresolution
In order to reconstruct W and Z from di-jets and be able to separate them, it is important to have
excellentjet-energyresolution. Forinstance,fora2.5%resolutiononthemass,a3.5%resolutionon

4.2.3 Impactparameterresolution
In order to measure the Higgs branching ratios, it is important to be able to tag jets from c and b
quarks. This calls for a good ability to reconstruct secondary vertices. This leads to the following
requirementontheimpactparameterresolution:
σrφ =5⊕15/(p[GeV]sin32θ)µm. (4)

4.3 ApossibleCLICdetector
The CLIC detector concept is derived from the ILC detector concepts, ILD [5] and SiD [6], and is
adapted to the conditions at CLIC. A schematic view of the CLIC detector is shown in Fig. 9. It
is composed of barrel and endcap sections. Going outwards from the interaction point, the detector
comprises: a low-mass vertex detector, a silicon-based main tracker, a fine-grained electromagnetic
calorimeter(ECAL),afine-grainedhadroncalorimeter(HCAL),alarge4to5Teslasuperconducting
solenoid and an instrumented return yoke with muon identification layers. In the forward direction,
near the incoming and outgoing beams, compact fine-grained forward calorimeters, LumiCal and
BeamCal,arelocated. Thefinalfocusingquadrupolesfortheincomingbeamsarealsoplacedinside
