SEMINAIRE DE PHYSIQUE CORPUSCULAIRE
at 17:00 – Stückelberg Auditorium
The International Linear Collider: a global project for the future of particle physics
Dr Ties BEHNKE / DESY FLC

The International Linear Collider, ILC, is planned in a world-wide collaboration to be the next big collider after the LHC. The ILC will focus on precision - it will built upon the view of the Terascale physics which we will develop from the LHC results, and carry this further by adding precision measurements.

Over many years scientists have developed the foundation for the ILC proposal: a superconducting linear accelerator reaching energies between 500 GeV and 1 TeV. In parallel the requirements of unprecendented precision measurements has forced the experimental community to develop new detector concepts and event reconstruction techniques.

In this talk the state of the ILC project worldwide will be discussed, with a special focus on the planning of experiments for the ILC.
