Mega-science Facilities

IHEP serves as the backbone of China’s mega-science facilities

Beijing Electron Positron Collider

• The Beijing Electron Positron Collider--the first mega-science facility in China started the construction in 1984. In October, 1988, the first electron-positron collision was realized, declaring the success of the Beijing Electron Positron Collider Project.

• The BEPCII was started in 2004, completed in July, 2008 and commissioned in July, 2009. The BEPCII, another milestone in the history of China’s high energy physics, operates in charm energy region and also caters for synchrotron radiation.

• In March 2013, the luminosity reached 7.08× 1032 cm-2 s -1

BESIII—Http://bes3.ihep.ac.cn

BESIII Exp. —— IHEP Leads Observed a Charged Charmonium like State Zc(3900) , X(1835), X(2120), X(2370),etc. Will uncover the mystery of particle XYZ A total of 70 papers have been submitted or published.

The BESIII Collaboration now consists of 50 research institutions from 11 countries, including China, U.S.A., Japan and European countries.To be an influential international research center for the tau-charm physics.

BSRF

5 insertion devices , 14 beam lines , 15 experimental stations

Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment

Daya Bay Exp. —— IHEP LeadsDiscovered a new kind of neutrino transformation on March, 8,2013Opens a gateway to the future neutrino Physics

Daya Bay is an international collaboration with 40 institutions from China, the United States, the Czech Republic, Hong Kong, Russia, and Taiwan.

The DayaBay Discovery (the neutrino mixing angleθ13 )was selected as the top 10 breakthroughs in 2012 by Science.

The success of DayaBay shows that the neutrino reserch at IHEP reached the international advanced level.

Yangbajin International Cosmic Ray Observatory

Sino – Japanese Cooperation on AS and Solar Neutron Experiment

Sino–Italian International Cooperation on ARGO-YBJ Experiment

In October, 2006, Sino-Japanese Cooperation on Asγ and Solar Neutron Experiment found the evidence of anisotropy and co-rotation of galactic cosmic rays. The scientific results were published on Science Magazine, and cited as a milestone achievement in this field.

China Spallation Neutron Sources

• To meet the increasing demand from user community, China decided to build a world-class spallation neutron source, called CSNS. It can provide users a neutron scattering platform with high flux, wide wavelength range and high efficiency.

• In October 2011, civil construction started in Dongguan, Guangdong Province.

• It is scheduled to start the operation in 2018

Accelerator Driven Sub-critical System

• The Accelerator Driven Sub-critical System (ADS) takes the spallation neutrons as the external neutron source to drive the sub-critical blanket system.

• Construct injector I(10MeV, 1mA )in 2015, complete the main accelerator key Technology R&D

• On December 22, 2012, the ADS superconducting cavity(β=0.12) passed the vertical test at IHEP, all the technical parameters have reached the level of its international counterparts.

Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope

• IHEP is leading the development of China’s first astronomical satellite, the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT). It was proposed by IHEP scientists Li Tibei and Wu Mei based on their innovative direct demodulation image reconstruction method.

• The HXMT satellite is now near the end of the qualification model phase. The manufacturing of the flight model will begin later this year, and the satellite will be launched in 2015.

What we do at Foreign Affairs Office

We organized international conferences and workshops to offer best services to all the participants

International conferences we held

Annual Meetings

• PRC/U.S. High Energy Physics Joint committee

• Over the past 40 years, IHEP has established wide and strong collaboration with the international high energy physics community. Today IHEP has become one of the leading scientific research centers in the field of high energy physics in the world.

Annual Meetings

From May 14 to 15, 2005, a seminar for the China-CERN cooperation was held at IHEP. The Chinese participants included representatives from the Ministry of Science and Technology and the National Science Foundation of China, etc. A delegation from CERN headed by Robert Aymar, Director- General of CERN attended the seminar.

In July, 1996, the First IHEP-KEK Annual Cooperation Meeting was held which marked the beginning of the Sino-Japanese collaboration on particle physics research. The picture shows the delegates to the IHEPKEK Annual Cooperation Meeting visiting the BESIII construction site on October 17, 2005.

Annual Meetings

In December, 2011, IHEP and the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) agreed to set up a joint cooperative committee. In May, 2012, the First Meeting of the IHEP-INFN Joint Committee was held in Rome. The picture shows Wang Yifang singed a cooperative agreement on establishing a joint laboratory with the INFN representative in Beijing in June, 2012.

In January, 2008, the First Workshop of the France China Particle Physics Laboratory (FCPPL) was held in France.
