Abstract :
In this paper, we present the parameters and layout of the Next Linear Collider (NLC). The NLC is the SLAC design of a future linear collider using X-band RF technology in the main linacs. The collider would have an initial center-of-mass energy of 0.5 TeV which would be upgraded to 1 TeV and then 1.5 TeV in two stages. The design luminosity is >5×1033 cm-2 sec-1 at 0.5 TeV and >1034 cm-2 sec-1 at 1.0 and 1.5 TeV. We will briefly describe the components of the collider and the proposed energy upgrade scenario
