Description
The ILC is a linear electron-positron collider at center of mass energy of 250 GeV. It is optimized for the precision study of the Higgs boson which acts as a probe for physics beyond the standard model. Its high sensitivity may allow certain new particles to be found that are not easily detected at the LHC. The basic technologies are now ready and the Japanese government is in the final phase of evaluating its case. In this talk, we overview the technical and political status of the ILC.
