Description
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is an option for a future
electron-positron collider operating at centre-of-mass energies from a
few hundred GeV up to 3 TeV. Following an overview of precision
electroweak measurements possible at a high-energy electron-positron
collider like CLIC, details will be presented on two recent physics
benchmark analyses based on full detector simulations and assuming
centre-of-mass energies of 1.4 and 3 TeV.
Vector boson scattering gives insight into the mechanism of electroweak
symmetry breaking. The processes $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow WW\nu\nu$ and $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow ZZ\nu\nu$ were studied using fully hadronic events which provide the full kinematic information on the final-state bosons. The expected precisions on anonalous gauge couplings are extracted. The process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow \gamma\gamma$ allows to search for deviations from QED. The expected sensitivities to a finite electron size and other scenarios are discussed.
