Description
Although the LHC will explore the energy frontier, and is destined to
provide new insights in the fundamental understanding of matter and
space-time, it has its intrinsic limitations. The proposed International
Linear
Collider (ILC) will add significantly to the scientific program of the LHC.
This, however, can only be realized if the experimental challenges of
the ILC can be overcome. The detectors at the ILC are envisioned to
be precision instruments and are a far extrapolation in performance and
technology from the current generation experiments. This talk will discuss
some of the critical detector R&D that is needed to bring about a
successful ILC physics program.
