Abstract

Particle physics is a branch of physics that studies the fundamental constitutes of matter and their interactions. This article reviews the major progress and breakthroughs of particle physics in 2018, including Higgs physics, searches for new physics, neutrino physics, searches for dark matter, studies of new quark states and strong interaction, and the developments of future colliders.
