Introduction

ILC Opportunities for Fixed Target Experiments

• Stefania Gori (UC Santa Cruz)

High energy beam dump experiments can offer a unique opportunity to test feebly interacting beyond the Standard Model particles. In this talk, we will first give an overview of the physics motivations for feebly interacting particles. Then we will present a few studies of the reach of a future beam dump experiment that utilizes the ILC electron beam. We will comment on the complementarity of this experiment with other proposed future collider experiments.

Long-lived particle searches using ILC beams

• Yasuhito Sakaki (KEK)

Although the main purpose of the ILC is the Higgs precision measurement and BSM searches in the collider experiment, non-collider experiments such as fixed target experiments using the ILC beams will expand the possibility of new physics. Various ideas for long-lived particle searches at CERN have also been proposed using forward and off-axis detectors in parallel with collider experiments, and it would be useful to consider similar possibilities at the ILC. This talk will mainly give an overview of the ILC facility and a fixed-target or beam dump experiment that will be feasible at the ILC site.
