Short presentation of your organisation:
School of Physics at Peking University:
In 1913, the “Wu Li Men” was formed in Peking University which was the first physics undergraduate
education unit in China. Then it was renamed as the Department of Physics in 1919. At the beginning the 2000s,
based on the former Department of Physics and some other physics related departments and institutes, the
School of Physics was established and it consists nine administrative divisions, namely, the Institute of
Theoretical Physics, the Institute of Condensed Matter Physics and Material Physics, the Institute of Modern
Optics, the Institute of Heavy Ion Physics, the Department of Astronomy, the Department of Atmosphere
Science, the Department of Technical Physics, the Center for Teaching of General Physics and the Center for
Teaching of Physics Experiment. Moreover, some research units are closely attached to the School of Physics,
including the State Key Laboratory for Artificial Microstructures and Mesoscopic Physics, the State Key
Laboratory of Nuclear Physics and Technology, Beijing Key Laboratory of Medical Physics and Engineering,
Center for High Energy Physics, and the Kavili Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics.
Research teams: At present, the School of Physics has more than 180 faculty members including 13
Academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences, 9 “Cheung Kong” Scholars, 76 full professors, 69 associate
professors and 38 senior engineers. There are 11 National Distinguished Young Scholars and 3 Innovative
Research Groups sponsored by the National Science Foundation of China (NSFC): QCD and Hadron Physics,
Femtoscond Optical Physics and Mesoscopic Optics, and Biological Network.
Research Field and Project: The research work in the School of Physics are devoted not only to the frontiers of
fundamental physics but also the innovation of advanced technology. The major research fields include: high
energy physics; cosmology and star physics; radioactive nuclear physics and nuclear-astrophysics; high energy
density physics; key technology for advanced light source and particle beams; interaction of particle beams with
materials; mesoscopic semiconductor light emission and laser physics and applications; small time dimension
physics; the optical properties of the artificial microstructures and mesoscopic device; electro-magnetic
properties of the mesoscopic functional systems; mesoscopic theory and material computation; soft-condensed
matter physics; biophysics; atmosphere sciences,and so on. the School is carry on more than 300 research
projects, including chairing five national “973” projects, seven national “863” projects and nine key project of
NSFC. The annual research funding from the government amounts to more than 70 million Yuan.
Interest(s) on ASEPS:
The School conducted a wide range of international cooperation, such as the participation of the world largest
high energy physics project LHC-CMS, long term cooperation with RIKEN and KEK in Japan, GSI and DESY
in Germany, and Jlab in the United States. Besides, the International Summer School on Subatomic Physics is
hold in Shool of Physics for every two years. Therefore the School wishes to put further strength on
international collaborations through ASEPS.
Expected ASEPS outcomes:
More involved and contribute in various international collaborations.
