Editing Linear particle accelerator (section)

=== Compact Linear Collider ===
The concept of the [[Compact Linear Collider]] (CLIC) (original name CERN Linear Collider, with the same abbreviation) for electrons and positrons provides a traveling wave accelerator for energies of the order of 1 tera-electron volt (TeV).<ref>{{Cite book|last=Raubenheimer|first=T. O.|title=A 3 TeV e+e− linear collider based on CLIC technology|publisher=|year=2000|isbn=92-9083-168-5|location=Geneva|pages=}}</ref> Instead of the otherwise necessary numerous [[klystron]] amplifiers to generate the acceleration power, a second parallel electron linear accelerator of lower energy is to be used, which works with superconducting cavities in which standing waves are formed. High-frequency power is extracted from it at regular intervals and transmitted to the main accelerator. In this way, the very high acceleration field strength of 80 MV / m should be achieved.
