International Linear Collider

The International Linear Collider (ILC) is a large scientific facility designed to study fundamental particles by colliding electrons and positrons at very high energies. Unlike circular colliders, it trains beams in straight lines over many kilometers, allowing precise control and measurement of collisions. These experiments help scientists understand the basic building blocks of matter and forces that govern the universe. The ILC aims to complement existing colliders, such as the Large Hadron Collider, by providing cleaner data to explore particle properties and potentially reveal new physics beyond current theories.
