Abstract:
After the discovery of Higgs, Higgs factory is now recognized by the community as the highest priority for the future of particle physics. We proposed Circular Electron-Positron Collider in 2012, which is now almost ready for construction. I will describe its design, R&D and the construction planning.

Yifang Wang is a Researcher at the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of Chinese academy of Sciences. He obtained his Ph. D. at the University of Florence in Italy, and subsequently worked at MIT and Stanford University.
At IHEP, Yifang Wang led the design, construction and science effort of the BESIII experiment at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider for tau-charm physics. He initiated and led the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment which observed a new type of neutrino oscillation denoted by q13. He led the construction of the JUNO neutrino experiment, and proposed the Circular Electron-Positron Collider (CEPC) as a Higgs Factory.
