Status of the International Linear Collider

Preprint

This paper is not a proposal for a CERN future project but provides information on the International Linear Collider (ILC) considered for Japan in order to facilitate the European Strategy discussion in a global context. It describes progress to date, ongoing engineering studies, updated cost estimate for the machine at √ s =250 GeV and the situation in Japan. The physics of the ILC is not presented here, but jointly for all Linear Collider projects in a separate document “A Linear Collider Vision for the Future of Particle Physics” submitted for the forthcoming European Strategy deliberations.
