The Road Towards the ILC: Higgs, Top/QCD, Loops

The International Linear ee Collider (ILC) could go into operation in the second half of the upcoming decade. Experimental analyses and theory calculations for the physics at the ILC are currently performed. We review recent progress, as presented at the LCWS06 in Bangalore, India, in the fields of Higgs boson physics and top/QCD. Also the area of loop calculations, necessary to achieve the required theory precision, is included. plenary talk given at the LCWS06, 9-13 March 2006, Bangalore, India email: [email protected] PRAMANA c © Indian Academy of Sciences — journal of physics pp. 1–7 The Road Towards the ILC: Higgs, Top/QCD, Loops S.
