Compact Linear Collider

A Compact Linear Collider (CLC) is a big, powerful machine that scientists use to help them better understand the properties of particles. It's like a giant and powerful microscope. Particles like protons and electrons are blasted together in a long tube, creating a powerful beam of energy that scientists can use to see how the particles interact. This helps scientists learn more about the particles and how they behave.
