Description
The International Linear Collider (ILC) is the next large project in high
energy physics and currently being designed in a global effort. The main
scientific goal is to complement the anticipated discoveries at the LHC by
precision measurements at the TeV scale. This has challenging implications
on the ILC detector design and performance requiring unprecedented
precision in vertexing, tracking and calorimetry. Design studies on four
detector concepts are ongoing which are complemented by international
R&D programmes to develop detectors suitable for the conditions at the
collider and matching the required performances. A survey will be given on
the detector concepts and technologies under investigation together with
the current status of the R&D programmes and future plans.
