The International Linear Collider (ILC) project is expected to be the next world-wide particle physics facility. Its accelerators will collide electrons on positrons at energies from 500 GeV up to 1 TeV. While the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN has discovered the Higgs and helps understand the origin of mass, the ILC will be essential in extending these discoveries and making precision measurements on these particles, their properties and modes of interaction. The two facilities are highly complementary and are both needed to probe and push the most fundamental theories of our physical world. Intensive world-wide efforts are currently pursued toward these objectives. Accelerator and detector design reports have been completed in 2013. A site has been selected in Japan to host the ILC. With international support, Japan hopes to be able to present the first political decisions in 2016. Novel calorimeters based on particle flow algorithm techniques and high granularity detectors have been and are still developed. Prototypes were constructed and tested for the ILC detectors. These activities are coordinated by the international CALICE collaboration. Researchers are achieving unprecedented jet energy resolution and actual particle calorimetry tracking. Canadians have joined CALICE in 2005 and have already contributed to the effort out of proportion to their number. We would like to be able to continue our work on calorimeter prototypes, taking data at test beams as required and performing major physics analysis of the detector responses. We have to establish the full evaluation of the results and prepare for their integration into the final designs required by the ILC detectors. This entails detailed response to the different type of particles, full calibration, energy and space resolution performances characteristics, as well as development of algorithms to sustain them all.

国际直线对撞机（ILC）项目预计将成为下一个世界性的粒子物理设施。它的加速器将使能量从500 GeV到1 TeV的电子与正电子碰撞。虽然欧洲核子研究中心的大型强子对撞机（LHC）已经发现了希格斯粒子，并帮助理解了质量的起源，但ILC将在扩展这些发现并对这些粒子及其性质和相互作用模式进行精确测量方面发挥重要作用。这两个设施是高度互补的，都需要探索和推动我们的物理世界的最基本的理论。 目前正在全世界加紧努力实现这些目标。加速器和探测器设计报告已于2013年完成。已在日本选定一个地点作为国际法委员会的东道国。在国际支持下，日本希望能够在2016年提出第一批政治决定。 基于粒子流算法技术和高粒度检测器的新型量热仪已经并仍在开发中。ILC探测器的原型被建造和测试。这些活动由CALICE国际协作组织协调。研究人员正在实现前所未有的喷射能量分辨率和实际粒子量热跟踪。加拿大人于2005年加入了CALICE，并已为这一努力作出了与其人数不成比例的贡献。 我们希望能够继续我们在量热计原型上的工作，根据需要在测试光束上获取数据，并对探测器的响应进行主要的物理分析。我们必须建立对结果的全面评估，并准备将其纳入ILC探测器所需的最终设计。这需要对不同类型的粒子进行详细的响应，全面的校准，能量和空间分辨率性能特征，以及开发算法来维持它们。
