=== Higgs physics ===
The current LHC data suggest that the particle found in 2012 is the [[Higgs boson]] as predicted by the [[Standard Model]] of particle physics.<ref name=atlas>

}}</ref> The 380&nbsp;GeV stage of CLIC allows, for example, accurate model-independent measurements of Higgs [[boson]] couplings to [[fermions]] and bosons through the Higgsstrahlung and WW-fusion production processes. The second and third stages give access to phenomena such as the [[Yukawa interaction|top-Yukawa coupling]], rare Higgs decays and the Higgs self-coupling.<ref name=Abramovicz_CLIC_CERN-2012/>
