` Next Linear Collider

The Next Linear Collider (NLC) is a 30 km long electron-positron collider consisting of two diametrically opposed linacs that will operate in the range 0.5-1.5 TeV/c. The electron-positrons offer a clean probe (relative to LHC) of Higgs mechanism and other physics beyond the standard model.

The High Energy Physics Group is performing R&D for the interaction region, with the goal of creating a secondary interaction region for gamma-gamma collisions from compton back-scattering. Gamma-gamma collisions allow one to probe the Higgs at higher mass regions.
