Yifang Wang - Higgs and Neutrinos: Portal to the Future of Particle Physics

Speaker: Prof. Yifang Wang Affiliation: Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) - Chinese Academy of Sciences Abstract: After the discovery of Higgs, the Standard Model (SM) is basically completed and particle physics is now at a turning point. On the one hand, SM is just an effective theory at current energy scale with a number of questions not yet answered. On the other hand, experimental evidence beyond the SM have been observed. It is commonly believed that a further understanding of physics at higher energies or deeper levels is needed, to be guided by more experimental discoveries. For such a purpose, Higgs and Neutrinos are the two main portals. I will describe our efforts along these two directions. One is based on the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) which will start the data taking soon. Another one is the Circular Electron-Positron Collider (CEPC) with a circumference of 100km. After 12 years efforts, CEPC is almost ready for construction. I will describe its design, R&D and the construction planning. Yifang Wang is a Researcher at the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of Chinese academy of Sciences. He obtained his Ph. D. at the University of Florence in Italy, and subsequently worked at MIT and Stanford University. At IHEP, Yifang Wang led the design, construction and science effort of the BESIII experiment at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider for tau-charm physics. He initiated and led the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment which observed a new type of neutrino oscillation denoted by θ13 . He led the design and construction of the JUNO neutrino experiment, and proposed the Circular Electron-Positron Collider (CEPC) as a Higgs Factory. He is a recipient of the Breakthrough Prize, Panofsky Prize, EPS-HEP prize, Nikkei Asia Prize, Pontecorvo Prize, Future Science Prize and the 1st grade National Natural Science Award of China. He is a member of Chinese Academy of Sciences, a fellow of the Third World Academy of Sciences, a foreign member of the National Academy of Sciences of the US, the American Arts and Sciences, the Royal Society and the Russian Academy of Sciences. https://indico.dfa.unipd.it/event/1509/
