报告摘要：

      The Nobel Prize in Physics 2013 was awarded jointly to François Englert and Peter W. Higgs "for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider”. Why is the Higgs boson so important? What is the present status of our understanding of such a particle? What is the plan to study its properties in future? I will talk about these topics based on some of my previous work.

报告人简介：

      Dr. Wang graduated from Peking University with a doctorate degree in 2013. Then he worked at Mainz Johannes Gutenberg University in Germany as a postdoc fellow. He moved to Technische Universität München in 2016. His main research is in precision collider phenomenology, which involves higher-order QCD (Quantum Chromodynamics) corrections. His PhD thesis has been published on Springer Theses. So far, he has published over 30 journal papers with more than 550 citations. Some of his research results have been adopted by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations in analysing experimental signals. His paper on the precision predictions of the Higgs boson transverse momentum distributions has been included in “The Review of Particle Physics”.
