International linear collider

The International Linear Collider: A Technical Progress Report marks the halfway point towards the Global Design Effort fulfilling its mandate to follow up the LHC reference Design Report with a more potimised Technical Design Report (TDR) by the end of 2012. The TDR will be based on much of the ILC to collaborating governments, including a technical design and implementation plan that are realistic and have been better optimised for performance, cost and risk.
