Abstract

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.
