For more than twenty years now, the Tevatron at Fermilab, the world's most powerful particle accelerator, has opened a doorway to exploring the deepest mysteries of the universe. In 2007, an even more powerful accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider will begin operation at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. An international consortium of particle physicists has made a proposal for the next step : the International Linear Collider (ILC). Stretching approximately 35-kilometers in length ,this electron-positron collider will allow researchers to discover the Terascale, an energy region that may answer some of the most fundamental questions of all time.
