The International Linear Collider

Abstract

We present a brief summary of the International Linear Collider as documented in the 2013 Technical Design Report. The Technical Design Report has detailed descriptions of the accelerator baseline design for a 500 GeV e+e- linear collider, the R&D program that has demonstrated its feasibility, the physics goals and expected sensitivities, and the description of the ILD and SiD detectors and their capabilities.

4 pages. This note is intended as a reference for the discussion of the U.S. High Energy Physics future program in the Community Summer Study (Snowmass on the Mississippi) in July 2013
