Abstract:
Many key questions in particle physics and cosmology are unanswered
today. In particular, some 95% of the Universe consist of unknown dark
matter and dark energy. Accelerator experiments together with
astro(particle)physics observations can shed light on questions like
what happened at the early Universe, what is dark matter and dark
energy, and much more. Together with the proton collider LHC, the
electron-positron collider ILC will play a crucial role. The LHC
scheduled to start up in 2007 will take us into the discovery realm.
The ILC will extend the discoveries and provide a wealth of measurements
that are essential for giving deeper understanding of their meaning, and
pointing the way to further evolution of particle physics in the future.
