The benefits of using superconducting radio-frequency (SCRF) acceleration for an electron-positron linear collider have been well documented over the years. The ultra-low cavity wall losses allow the use of long RF pulses, greatly simplifying the RF source, while facilitating high-efficiency acceleration of high-current beams. In addition the low RF frequency (1.3 GHz) significantly reduces...

The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) Collaboration is developing a multi-TeV linear electron-positron collider for future high energy physics experiments; it has recently published a conceptual design report. The concept is based on the use of 12GHz normal conducting accelerating structures, which allow high gradients and hence a cost effective machine. To minimise cost a novel two-beam...

7. State-of-the-art in Vertex Detectors for LC

The Linear Collider physics programme assumes high performance flavour tagging capabilities, particularly in terms of displaced vertex reconstruction originating from charm-quark and tau-lepton decays. A new generation vertex detector, featuring unprecedented spatial resolution and material budget, is therefore developed since several years, based on novel pixel technologies. The talk...

8. State-of-the-art in Silicon Tracking for LC

During the past few years, the concepts and technologies for solid state tracking at the ILC have matured to the point where they are largely ready for implementation. Meanwhile, the advent of the CLIC detector concepts has introduced some additional challenges, pushing the evolution of these designs and technologies even further. The status of silicon tracking for the ILC detector...
