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

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

> 500 exp./year , from > 100 institutions
Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment
Daya Bay Exp. —— IHEP Leads
Discovered a new kind of neutrino transformation on
March, 8,2013
 Opens 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
angle θ 13 )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.

Cooperation
on
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.

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.

Development” exhibition, CAS annual
exhibition of technological innovations
and other large technology exhibitions.
Press conferences and media coverage

Since 2008, IHEP has held 13
press conferences, and released
in the public media such as
CCTV and Xinhua News, more
than 350 reports about our
