INVITATION TO PRESENTATION DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS, UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA Department of Physics, will host an Interesting Seminar on Prospect of Particle Physics Experiments in China by: Prof. Hesheng Chen Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences Beijing 100049, China ABSTRACT The upgrade of the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII) and the Beijing Spectrometer (BESIII) were finished in July 2008. The design goals of the upgrade were achieved on schedule and within the budget. The peak luminosity of BEPCII has been improved by more than a factor of 70, in comparison with the one before the upgrade. The largest data samples of the Charm physics were obtained. The physics results from BEPCII/BESIII and its future plan will be presented. Non-accelerator based particle physics experiments in China have been promoted with great efforts during the last decade. Recently, the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment has made the most precision measurement on the neutrino mixing angle q13, which decided the future direction of the neutrino physics experiments. The cosmic ray measurement at Yangbajing and the particle astrophysics experiments in Space will be reviewed. The medium and long term plan of the Chinese particle physics experiments will be discussed. Date : 1 October 2013 (Tuesday) Time : 2.30 pm – 3.30 pm Venue : Auditorium, Department of Physics, University of Malaya About the Speaker: Dr. CHEN Hesheng is a Particle physicist. He received his Bachelor degree in Nuclear physics in Peking University (PKU) in 1970, and Ph.D of Physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1984. He is an Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences. He was the director of Institute of High Energy Physics from 1998 to 2011. He is currently a Professor and the Director of BEPC National Laboratory of IHEP and Project Manager of the China Spallation Neutron Source. His research field has been mainly on experimental particle physics. He worked at Mark-J Experiment of DESY from 1979 to 1984 and made important contributions to the gluon jet study and the precision tests of the electroweak theories. Since 1982, he worked at the L3 experiment at CERN for its physics proposal and detector design, Monte Carlo simulation and Tau physics, and made contributions to the precision measurements of the Standard Model parameters and the number of the neutrino generations. Under his leadership, the AMS permanent magnet system was constructed in Beijing, and became the payload of the space shuttle Discovery in 1998 as the first large magnet in Space. Since 2001, he was the project manager of the Beijing Electron Positron Collider Upgrade (BEPCII), and successfully led the BEPCII construction. The project was finished on schedule and within the budget, and reached the upgrade design specifications in 2009. The luminosity of the BEPCII has been increased by a factor of 70, in comparison with the one before the upgrade. He is the projector manager of China Spallation Neutron Source. ALL ARE MOST WELCOME
