Description
The CLIC detector and physics study (CLICdp) is an international collaboration that investigates the physics potential of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). CLIC is a high-energy electron-positron collider under development, aiming for centre-of-mass energies from a few hundred GeV to 3 TeV. In addition to physics simulations using full Monte Carlo studies including backgrounds, CLICdp performs cutting-edge hardware R&D. I will present recent results from physics prospect studies, emphasizing Higgs studies from the recently published Higgs physics overview paper, which includes direct BSM Higgs sector searches. Additionally the new CLIC detector model and new CLIC baseline staging scenario will be presented
