HIAF Project of Chinese Academy of Sciences

Abstract

The beginning of the construction of the next-generation accelerator facility—High Intensity heavy ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF)— of Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, China, in December, 2018 marked a new chapter in the accelerator-based science in China. Together with the China initiative Accelerator Driven System (CiADS), HIAF will propel research in accelerator sciences in China, and provide vast research opportunities in various fields covering nuclear physics, atomic physics, nuclear chemistry, biology as well as material, medical and space sciences to worldwide users.
