The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN and its experiments were conceived to tackle open questions in particle physics. The mechanism of the generation of mass of fundamental particles has been elucidated with the discovery of the Higgs boson. It is clear that the standard model is not the final theory. The open questions still awaiting clues or answers, from the LHC and other experiments, include: What is the composition of dark matter and of dark energy? Why is there more matter than anti-matter? Are there more space dimensions than the familiar three? What is the path to the unification of all the fundamental forces? This talk will discuss the status of, and prospects for, the search for new particles, symmetries and forces in order to address the open questions.This article is part of the themed issue 'Unifying physics and technology in light of Maxwell's equations'.
欧洲核子研究中心（CERN）的大型强子对撞机（LHC）及其实验旨在解决粒子物理学中的开放性问题。希格斯玻色子的发现阐明了基本粒子质量产生的机制。显然，标准模型不是最终理论。仍有待 LHC 和其他实验提供线索或答案的开放性问题包括：暗物质和暗能量的组成是什么？为什么物质比反物质多？是否存在比我们熟悉的三维空间更多的空间维度？实现所有基本力统一的途径是什么？本次演讲将讨论寻找新粒子、对称性和力的现状和前景，以解决开放性问题。本文是主题为“根据麦克斯韦方程组统一物理和技术”的特刊的一部分。
