探索质量起源与2013年诺贝尔物理学奖

 本文首先介绍1964年Peter Higgs及Francois Englert等提出的Higgs机制及其在电弱标准模型的建立中所起的重要作用，说明为什么2012年实验上发现一个Higgs玻色子后，2013年的诺贝尔奖就颁给Englert和Higgs。然后指出，接下来重要的是在实验上进一步探测这个Higgs玻色子对标准模型预言的偏离，和探索可能的新物理。LHC的升级实验和将来的高能对撞机对实现这个目标至关重要。最后展望粒子物理的发展前景。

Probing the Origin of Masses and the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics

We first briefly review the Higgs mechanism proposed in 1964 by Peter Higgs and Francois Englert et al. together with its important role in the construction of the electroweak standard model, showing why the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded to Englert and Higgs after the discovery of a Higgs resonance in 2012. We then point out that it is important to probe how this Higgs boson may deviate from the standard model prediction, and discover the possible new physics. The LHC upgrades and future high energy colliders are crucial for this goal. Finally we review the perspectives of particle physics.
