Description

A large, worldwide community of physicists is working to realise an exceptional physics program of energy-frontier, electron-positron collisions with the International Linear Collider (ILC). This is an ideal collider for precision studies of the Higgs boson and searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model.The Higgs factory is recommended as the highest-priority next collider after CERN’s LHC. The ILC satisfies this priority, with an initial center-of-mass energy of 250 GeV as a “Higgs Factory”, and the upgradability up to 1 TeV. It is the most advanced proposal in technology, maturity, cost, and preparation in international cooperation. Highlighting the global nature of particle physics, the 2020 European Strategy Update for Particle Physics reaffirms that the timely realization of the ILC in Japan is compatible with the strategy. In this talk, we will review the physics goals and prospects, the key accelerator and detector technologies, and the recent advances of the project.
