High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a proposed linear particle accelerator under design at CERN. CLIC is separate from the International Linear Collider project, and differs from it using normal conducting cavities (not superconducting like in ILC) to achieve a higher planned energy of several TeV . Currently research is in progress to develop cavities that can sustain the required alternating electric field. The aim is to demonstrate the feasibility of the technology in the year 2010 to allow a decision to fund the project afterwards.
