Physics at the ILC with focus mostly on Higgs physics

Abstract

Physics at the ILC is reviewed focusing mostly on Higgs physics. It is emphasized that at the ILC it is possible to measure the $hZZ$ coupling totally model independently, which in turn allows model-independent normalization of various branching ratio measurements and consequently the absolute measurements of corresponding couplings. Combining them with the measurements of the top Yukawa coupling and the Higgs self-coupling at higher energies, the full ILC program is shown to allow a precision test of the mass-coupling relation.
