Description
This paper is not a proposal for a CERN future project but provides information
on the International Linear Collider (ILC) considered for Japan to facilitate the
European Strategy discussion in a global context. It describes progress to date,
ongoing engineering studies, updated cost estimate for the machine at √s = 250 GeV
and the situation in Japan. The physics of the ILC is not presented here, but jointly
for all Linear Collider projects in the separate document “A Linear Collider Vision
for the Future of Particle Physics”, submitted for the forthcoming European Strategy
deliberations.
