The 2025 Shanghai Symposium on Particle Physics and Cosmology: Precision Higgs Factory Physics: Theory Meets Experiment (SPCS 2025) will be held October 10-12 at the Tsung Dao Lee Institute/Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The focus will be on probes of physics beyond the Standard Model through precision studies of Higgs, Z, and W boson production and decays and on the exploration of novel electroweak precision observables and the next generation of high intensity electron-positron colliders.
The Symposium seeks to introduce the latest theoretical developments and experimental progress and to promote scientific exchanges and cooperation in related fields in China and beyond.
The worldwide high energy physics community is pursuing various options for an electron-positron collider. With the possibility that such a facility could be realized in the coming decade, it is timely to vigorously pursue the development of the scientific program through a new generation of theoretical calculations (both within and beyond the Standard Model) and the corresponding interface with the design of experimental detectors and analysis frameworks. The symposium will provide opportunities to discuss the latest developments in these directions and foster new ideas and collaborations.
The symposium will be followed by an intensive four-day school for post-docs and advanced Ph.D. students on the theoretical tools and experimental connections related to precision physics at Higgs factories. Information about the school will be forthcoming and appear on a separate web page.
The symposium will take place primarily in person, with some remote participation possible. Everyone is welcome to register and participate. In addition to invited reports, this symposium will also include parallel session contributed talks, including time slots for students and postdoctoral fellows. Young scholars are welcome to apply. Participants are requested to complete the registration before September 29, 2025; students and postdoctoral students who apply to give contributed talks are requested to submit report information (title, abstract, and article information if they have been submitted to arXiv or published publicly). The meeting will be in English.
Board and lodging will be arranged in a unified manner for the meeting, and the expenses will be borne by oneself; registration fee is 1,000 yuan for teachers and postdoctoral fellows; 500 yuan for students.
