Abstract

The International Linear Collider (ILC) will advance our understanding of fundamental physics, through a program for precision measurements of the Higgs boson and of the top quark properties. An additional crucial goal of the ILC will be the direct discovery of light New Physics (NP) particles. This proceeding gives an overview of the ILC direct discovery potential. Special emphasis is dedicated to the discovery prospects for light hidden Supersymmetric particles, such as Higgsinos and staus. Furthermore, it will be extremely promising to have analyses aimed to the discovery of light hidden NP particles produced from new decay modes of the Higgs boson. The ILC low background environment, as well as the precise knowledge of the initial-state beams are also ideal for the precise measurements of the spectrum and interactions of these NP particles, once discovered.
