Over the last three years, I was proud to work as a member of this committee, which included two Nobel Prize winners. Our report was released in June, 2025.
The National Academies conducted a study to explore the 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 critical actions necessary to make this vision reality.

Elementary particle physics reflects the human quest to understand the basic building blocks of nature and the rules that govern the physical world.
