IntroductionNumber of reasons caused our group to sign a Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding with CLIC project collaboration. The reasons to join this collaboration were as follow:

•To direct experience gained at TESLA TDR to CLIC project efforts, •To gain experience at accelerator physics, •To increase the number of scientist collaborating with CERN for the future membership of Turkey.

Planned contributions as collaborator were described at the Miniworkshop.

CLIC

CLIC based at CERN is a challenging project that aims colliding beams of positrons and electrons at an energy of 3 TeV with luminosity of 1035 cm-2s-1. It would achieve this by using a new accelerating

technology to reach the multi-TeV energy range in approximately the same distance that the ILC would require to reach its 0.5-1 TeV design specification. CLIC physicists chose a frequency of 30→12 GHz, aiming

to achieve a gradient of 150→100 MV/m. Since there is no conventional power source (klystron), CLIC extracts RF power at 30→12 GHz from an intense electron “drive beam”.

Because of break-down problems, the frequency and the gradient are replaced.

Physics on CLICLepton collider uses elementary particles with well defined initial state

and beam polarization. Therefore, it produces particles democratically. In addition, momentum conservation eases decay product analysis. With these advantages, CLIC can explore on Higgs meson in detail,

supersymmetry particle spectrum, extra spatial spectrum, new strong interactions, the fourth family SM fermions and more.

In 2004, a report to summarize CLIC physics potential with our groups contributions, as well, was prepared.

Studied by our group:The effects of beam dynamics to optimize processes, the search

potential is studied in detail, in particular for different resonances in the e+-e-, γ-e, γ-γ and e--e- collisions [ref.]. Additionally there are a number of physics topics which have been

addressed in above report which need more detailed studies, and other, new physics scenarios that have emerged recently is studied

as well [ref].

CTF3 and its operation

Aims of the CTF3 are to demonstrate Drive Beam generation (fully loaded acceleration, bunch frequency multiplication with 10), to test 30→12 GHz CLIC accelerating structures and to test 30→12 GHz power production structures (PETS). To fulfill our collaboration

agreement, our young members have taken part (12 months man power) at CTF3 operation and tested PETS. With their contribution, CTF3 has

reached 150→100 MV/m accelerating gradient.

Interface of CLIC with LHC

One other intent of our group is to discuss different possibilities for interfacing CLIC with LHC, and to review the physics potential CLIC-LHC

based colliders in detail.

QCD Explorer

A QCD Explorer (QCD-E) assumes collisions of a 75 GeV electron beam from CLIC with the proton or nucleus beam from the LHC. It will supply e-p collisions with a centre of mass energy

of 1.4 TeV. QCD-E (and the corresponding -p, e-A and -A options

based on it) will be a unequaled instrument for detailed studies of the Quantum Chromo-Dynamics part of the Standard Model. It will let determine Parton Distribution Functions (PDF) in a wide kinematical region. The kinematical reach of QCD-E is about an order of

magnitude larger than for HERA.

QCD Explorer (cont.)

Our aim is to address a number of issues that need to be clarified. One of them is to determine luminosities of ep

and p options. Another is determining laser parameters. The work on details of Physics at QCD-E

continues.

Energy Frontier CLIC*LHC Collider

The Energy Frontier considers collisions of a 0.5 or 1.5 TeV electron beam from CLIC with the proton or nucleus beam from the LHC. It will provide e-p collisions with a centre of mass energy of 3.74 TeV

or 6.48TeV. The discovery reach for New Physics of this machine is potentially

much larger than that of 0.5 TeV e+-e- linear colliders and, with the electron beam being polarized it is complementary to that of the LHC. Note that e-p collisions are generally much cleaner than hadron

collisions. A detailed comparison of the LHC, 0.5 TeV CLIC and CLIC*LHC

potential for New Physics searches has been made for different phenomena ADD type (AIP Conf.Proc.899:199-200,2007) and RS type (AIP Conf.Proc.899:187-188,2007) excited gravitons, anomalous single productions of leptons (AIP Conf.Proc.899:191-192,2007) and quarks (AIP Conf.Proc.899:227-228,2007). Gamma-p and gamma-A collider options have very exciting features.

FEL - A Collider

FEL-A collider assumes collision of a FEL beam, provided by the CLIC drive beam, with nuclei beam from LHC. It satisfies all requirements for an ideal Nuclear Resonant Fluorescence (NRF) source for nuclear spectroscopy. Detailed study is done by our group on this subject.

CONCLUSION

The collaboration with CLIC will be very useful for Turkey’s membership to CERN. It also helps transfer of accelerator technology to Turkey.
