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范围内的粒子物理设施。 其加速器将以 500 GeV 至 1 TeV 的能量使电子与正电子碰撞。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了解质量起源，但 ILC 对于扩展这些发现以及对这些粒子及其属性和相互作用模式进行精确测量至关重要。这两个设施具有高度互补性，都需要探索和推动我们物质世界的最基本理论。******目前正在为实现这些目标而在世界范围内进行大量努力。加速器和探测器的设计报告已于 2013 年完成。已在日本选定一个地点来举办 ILC。 在国际支持下，日本希望能够在 2016 年提出第一个政治决策。********基于粒子流算法技术和高粒度探测器的新型量热计已经并且仍在开发中。为 ILC 探测器构建并测试了原型。 这些活动由国际 CALICE 协作组织协调。研究人员正在实现前所未有的射流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，并且已经为这项工作做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方面的工作，根据需要获取测试光束的数据并对探测器响应进行主要的物理分析。我们必须对结果进行全面评估，并准备将其集成到 ILC 探测器所需的最终设计中。这需要对不同类型的粒子、全面校准、能量和空间分辨率性能特征进行详细响应，以及开发支持所有这些特征的算法。
