Abstract:

[Objective] This paper delves into the co-development process of high energy physics and network technologies. [History] Since the inception of high energy physics experiments, the need for generating and processing massive amounts of data have propelled the upgrading of network technologies. Starting from the early data transmission networks, they have gradually evolved into today’s high-speed, stable, and intelligent network architectures. Meanwhile, the innovation of network technologies has provided high energy physics experiments with more powerful data processing capabilities and a more efficient global collaboration platform. The two have co-evolved in a mutually promoting manner. [Present] At present, in the intelligent era, they have entered a stage of deep symbiosis, achieving realtime data transmission, remote control of experimental equipment, and data processing and analysis based on artificial intelligence. [Conclusions and prospects] Looking to the future, with the integration of emerging technologies such as quantum computing and 6G, high energy physics and the network will embrace an even closer symbiotic model, which is expected to lead to significant progress in exploring the mysteries of the universe and breaking throughs in basic physical theories.

Key words: high energy physics, network technologies, co-evolution, future symbiosis
