Abstract:Particle physics is a fundamental physics discipline that aims to explore the mysteries of microscopic constitutes of matter and their interactions. This article reviews the major progress and breakthroughs of particle physics in 2021, including dark matter physics, neutrino and astroparticle physics, muon anomalous magnetic moment, flavor physics, new exotic hadron state and strong interaction physics, Higgs physics, electroweak physics and searches for beyond the standard model new physics. A brief outlook of near future particle physics hotspots and large scale scientific facilities is also presented.
