ICFA: International Committee for Future Accelerators

ILC: International Linear Collider, project under study in Europe, Japan and U.S. A possible future 500-1000 GeV electron-positron collider, proposed to be built as a global venture. There are three different design and site proposals: TESLA with a site in Hamburg (Europe), GLC with possible sites in Japan, and NLC with a site somewhere in the U.S.
