==ILC physics and detectors==
It is widely expected that effects of physics beyond that described in the current [[Standard Model]] will be detected by experiments at the proposed ILC.<ref>{{Citation

* Measure the mass, spin, and interaction strengths of the [[Higgs boson]]
* If existing, measure the number, size, and shape of any [[Electronvolt|TeV]]-scale [[Kaluza–Klein theory|extra dimensions]]
* Investigate the lightest [[supersymmetry|supersymmetric]] particles, possible candidates for [[dark matter]]

To achieve these goals, new generation particle detectors are necessary.
