Description
The International Linear Collider (ILC) is a planned electron positron collider with centre of mass energy for physics runs ranging between 200 and 500 GeV and the possibility of a later upgrade to 1 TeV. New Physics, expected to be found at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) over the next few years, will be probed in detail at the ILC, geared towards high-precision experiments in which the momentum and spin state of the interacting particles are well known. This is particularly relevant in cases, where LHC observations may be explained by different possible theoretical models. The ILC, by adding further information, allows one to cleanly distinguish between these different options. The talk will give an outline of the physics scope of the ILC. It will also provide an overview of the three ILC Detector Design Concepts for which Letters of Intent have recently been published.
