International Workshop on New Opportunities for Particle Physics 2026

The discovery of neutrino oscillations, implying for nonzero neutrino masses, and the existence of dark matter call for new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) of elementary particles and cosmology. Fundamental questions regarding the origin of electroweak scale, the generation of neutrino masses and matter-antimatter asymmetry, the nature of dark matter and the dynamical evolution of the early Universe may find their answers in a new paradigm of particle physics. On the one hand, the next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments, with JUNO being in the successful operation and Hyper-Kamiokande and DUNE being under construction, bring us to the era of precision measurements at low energies. On the other hand, the Higgs factories (e.g., CEPC and FCC-ee), 100 TeV hadron colliders (e.g., SppC and FCC-hh), and Muon colliders have been planned by the international high-energy physics community to explore new physics beyond the electroweak scale. Meanwhile, recent advancements in quantum information science, gravitational wave observations, and multi-messenger astronomy have further opened new avenues for probing new physics. Interdisciplinary interactions that integrate insights and tools from various fields may be crucial for uncovering more clues.

This workshop aims to bring together experimentalists and theorists from neutrino physics, collider physics and other closely related areas. Our goal is to facilitate the exchange of recent advancements and foster discussions on the pursuit of new physics.
