12 Future Prospects for Large-Scale SRF Applications
12.1 The International Linear Collider (ILC) for High-Energy Physics
The goal of high-energy physics is to advance our understanding of nature at the most fundamental level. Comprehending the basic features of energy, matter, and space–time remain the focus. Current knowledge is captured by the standard model (SM) of particle physics which became the remarkably successful paradigm through a vast range of measurements and theories. The SM is our best knowledge with strong predictive capabilities about the elementary building blocks of matter, i.e. quarks and leptons. Tested rigorously to a part in a billion, it is the best answer to the question – what are we made of?
But there is still ...
