The high-energy electron–positron linear collider is expected to provide crucial clues to many of the fundamental questions of our time. What is the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking? Does a Standard Model Higgs boson exist or does nature take the route of supersymmetry, technicolour, extra dimensions or none of the these? This book contains articles by experts on many of the most important topics on which the linear collider will focus. It is aimed primarily at graduate students but will be useful to any researcher interested in the physics of the next-generation linear collider.
