ILC
Stands for International Linear Collider. The ILC is a proposed particle accelerator to collide ultra-high energy electrons and positorons. Physicists from around the world are currently working on the design development.

The ILC is the largest high-energy electron accelerator in history, colliding particles at the highest energy ever experimented. The 31-kilometer tunnel underground will be installed with the state-of-the-art precision systems, which accelerates electrons and positrons to the near speed of light. The head-on collisions in the central region will recreate the conditions just after the big bang. The questis to shed light on what happened at the beginning of the Universe.
