希格斯势 2025:探索粒子物理与早期宇宙中的对称性破缺

将于2025年12月18日至12月22日在电子科技大学清水河校区举办

English Version Follows

   自希格斯粒子被发现以来,对其性质的精确测量、电弱对称性破缺机制的深入理解,以及对超越标准模型新物理的探索,始终是大型强子对撞机(LHC)及未来对撞机实验的核心科学目标。对称性的自发破缺不仅构成现代粒子物理标准模型的基石,也为构建新物理机制提供了重要线索。

   本次会议将围绕希格斯物理的最新进展,深入探讨希格斯粒子的实验观测结果及其在粒子物理理论和早期宇宙研究中的拓展,重点涵盖以下方向:

  • 希格斯粒子各项性质的高精度测量,特别是双希格斯粒子产生过程对自耦合常数的限制;
  • 对称性自发破缺机制的新现象及其在对撞机实验中的探测路径;
  • 与希格斯机制相关的超越标准模型的新物理理论,以及其引发的宇宙学效应,如早期宇宙相变、重子不对称生成和引力波产生等;
  • 希格斯场作为连接暗物质与标准模型的关键门户,其在暗物质直接探测实验中可能留下的信号特征及相关新粒子的搜寻策略。

   此外,会议将特别关注早期宇宙相变与对撞机实验之间的交叉关联,推动从宇宙学与高能物理的双重视角深化对希格斯机制的理解。会议拟邀请国内外理论与实验物理学者,共同交流希格斯物理与对称性破缺方向的最新研究进展,推动相关研究的纵深发展,并进一步加强在该前沿方向上的国际合作。

   本次会议由电子科技大学主办,重庆大学西南理论物理中心,北京大学,南京大学,清华大学,中国科学技术大学,中国科学院理论物理研究所,中山大学及上海交大李政道研究所协办。举办地在电子科技大学(中国成都)。会议得到重庆大学西南理论物理中心的部分资助。

Higgs Potential 2025:

Exploring Symmetry Breaking in Particle Physics and the Early Universe

Since the discovery of the Higgs boson, the precise measurement of its properties, a deeper understanding of the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking, and the exploration of new physics beyond the Standard Model have remained central scientific goals of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and future collider experiments. The spontaneous breaking of symmetry not only forms the cornerstone of the Standard Model of modern particle physics but also provides important clues for constructing new physics frameworks.

This conference will focus on the latest developments in Higgs physics, with in-depth discussions on experimental observations of the Higgs boson and their implications for particle physics theory and early-universe research. Key topics include:

  • High-precision measurements of various properties of the Higgs boson, particularly constraints on its self-coupling constant through di-Higgs production processes;
  • New phenomena in spontaneous symmetry breaking and their detection pathways in collider experiments;
  • Beyond-Standard-Model theories related to the Higgs mechanism and their cosmological implications, such as early-universe phase transitions, baryogenesis, and gravitational wave production;
  • The Higgs field as a crucial portal connecting dark matter and the Standard Model, including potential signal signatures in direct dark matter detection experiments and strategies for searching for related new particles.

In addition, the conference will place special emphasis on the interplay between early-universe phase transitions and collider experiments, aiming to advance the understanding of the Higgs mechanism from both cosmological and high-energy physics perspectives. Leading theoretical and experimental physicists from China and abroad will be invited to exchange the latest research progress on Higgs physics and symmetry breaking, to promote further development in this frontier field, and to strengthen international collaboration.

This conference is hosted by the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), with co-sponsorship from Chongqing University’s Southwest Center for Theoretical Physics, Peking University, Nanjing University, Tsinghua University, the University of Science and Technology of China, the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Sun Yat-sen University, and the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

It will be held at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in Chengdu, China, and is partially supported by the Southwest Center for Theoretical Physics at Chongqing University.
