Linear Collider TPC development

国际直线对撞机(ILC)[1]是继欧洲核子研究组织的p-p对撞机LHC之后提出的下一代e+e-world粒子物理设施。500GeV ILC目前处于高级规划阶段，加速器设计允许未来将能量升级到1TeV。2007年8月发布了ILC参考设计报告(RDR)，其中包括ILC加速器的基准设计和四个物理探测器的设计概念。目标是在2010年前及时向国际供资机构提交工程设计报告，其中包括ILC机器的费用和两个经批准的探测器的设计，以便及时获得大型强子对撞机的结果。到下一个十年末，ILC对于物理数据的获取来说是不存在技术障碍的

The International Linear Collider (ILC) [1] is the proposed next generation e+ e- world facility for particle physics after the CERN p-p collider LHC. The 500 GeV ILC is presently in advanced planning stage with the accelerator design permitting a future upgrade in energy to 1 TeV. The ILC Reference Design Report (RDR) with the baseline design for the ILC accelerator and design concepts for four detectors for physics was released in August 2007. The goal is to submit the engineering design report with costs for the ILC machine and the design for two approved detectors to the international funding agencies for approval by 2010 in time for LHC results. There are no technological hurdles to ILC being operational for physics data taking by the end of the next decade
