DESCRIPTION:Future e+e- Linear Colliders offer the potential to explore ne
 w physics at the TeV scale and beyond to very high precision. While the In
 ternational Linear Collider (ILC) scheme of  a collider in the 0.5 - 1 TeV
  range enters the engineering design phase\, the Compact Linear Collider (
 CLIC) study explores the technical feasibility of a collider capable of re
 aching into the multi-TeV energy domain. \nKey ingredients of the CLIC sch
 eme are acceleration at high-frequency (30 GHz) and high-gradient (150 MV/
 m) in normal conducting structures and the use of the so-called Two Beam A
 cceleration concept\, where a high-charge electron beam (drive beam) runni
 ng parallel to the main beam is decelerated to provide the RF power to acc
 elerate the main beam itself. A vigorous R&D effort is presently developed
  by the CLIC international collaboration to demonstrate its feasibility by
  2010\, when the first physics results from LHC should be available to gui
 de the choice of the centre-of-mass energy better suited to explore the fu
 ture frontier of particle physics. A number of formidable technological ch
 allenges must be addressed to achieve such a goal. In this lecture series 
 the main issues\, from drive beam generation and RF power production to hi
 gh-gradient acceleration and special materials for accelerating structures
 \, from high-precision alignment and stability to novel and demanding beam
  diagnostics equipment are discussed and the R&D activities presently ongo
 ing and planned for the near future are presented.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.c
