Abstract:
The International Linear Collider (ILC) is a proposed electron-positron
collider with centre-of-mass energies of 200-500 GeV with an upgrade path
to 1TeV and a leading candidate for the next collider from its physics
potential and technical readiness. The ILC offers very rich physics
opportunities including precision measurements in the Higgs, top and
electroweak sectors as well as a discovery potential of new particles
beyond the Standard Model. The physics case for the ILC and the key
technologies such as the superconducting accelerator facilities and high
precision detector will be presented. The status and the perspectives of
the project, including the recent discussion on the staging execution of
the ILC staring at 250 GeV as a Higgs factory, will also be discussed.
