The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is one of the leading options for the next generation of high-energy electron-positron physics, acting both as a Higgs factory in its first operational stage and a discovery collider in later stages, in which it will be capable of achieving e+e- collisions of up to 3 TeV. The energy range of this project is achieved through a two-beam acceleration scheme, in which the experimental beam is powered by a high-current Drive-Beam travelling parallel to it. In this seminar we will explore various details of the Drive-Beam complex, from its recombination complex, in which the beam frequency and current are multiplied to 12 GHz and 100 A, to the decelerator sectors, in which energy is extracted from the beam through wakefield interactions. We will tackle various updates to the beamline design, challenges brought upon by non-linear effects and synchrotron radiation, as well as the need and development of specialized tracking software (PLACET3).
