Elementary Particle Physics: Progress and Promise

Recently completed

Elementary particle physics reflects the human quest to understand the basic building blocks of nature and the rules that govern the physical world. This quest has led not only to critical scientific advancements, but also to technology breakthroughs driving state-of-the-art medical treatments, innovative manufacturing techniques, and more.

At the request of the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation, the National Academies conducted a study to explore long-term goals and future ambitions for particle physics. Elementary Particle Physics: The Higgs and Beyond presents a bold 40-year vision for the field and highlights the actions necessary to make this vision reality.
