Equipment grant for ILC TPC development

一个新的500 GeV至1 TeV的质量能量中心电子-正电子碰撞束加速器目前正处于高级规划阶段，作为拟议的下一个粒子物理学世界设施。全球设计工作组正在努力完成ILC加速器的设计，而ILC探测器的研发工作则由全球研究组负责协调。完成机器和探测器技术设计报告的目标日期是2010年。随着选址和国际资金的到位，建设工作将于2012年开始，ILC将于2019年投入使用，以获取物理数据。

A new 500 GeV to 1 TeV centre of mass energy electron-positron colliding beam accelerator is currently under advanced planning stages as the proposed next world facility for particle physics. The Global Design Effort group is working to finalize the ILC accelerator design while the ILC detector R&D is being coordinated by the World Wide Study Group. The target date to complete the machine and the detector technical design reports is 2010. With site selection and the international funding in place, the construction could begin by 2012 with ILC operational for physics data taking by 2019.
