The Workshop on FAIR Physics was held jointly by the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) affiliated to Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and Peking University from Feb. 21 to 23 in Beijing.
Prof. Boris Sharkov, the scientific director of FAIR and Prof. Horst Stöcker, the scientific director of GSI, talked about the status of FAIR project and the overview of FAIR physics respectively. Prof. ZHAN Wenlong, one of the vice presidents of CAS gave a lecture on Large Scale Facilities under construction and operation by CAS and proposals of further development. Mr. XIE Ming, vice director of IMP gave a presentation focusing on the progresses of China’s involvement in FAIR so far and possibilities of further participation. More than 10 experts gave lectures on FAIR related physics at the workshop.
Group discussions on atomic physics and high energy density physics, NuSTAR related physics, nuclear matter physics, and hadron physics were undertaken at the workshop focusing on the approaches for China’s participation in FAIR physics and technologies. It has been agreed that the whitepaper of China’s participation in FAIR physics should be prepared.
The workshop was attended by Prof. ZHAN Wenlong, vice president of CAS, SHEN Jianlei and CHEN Wenjun, division directors of Department of Basic Research of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, JI Peiwen and PU Men, department and division directors of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, QIAO Runlong, the division director of Bureau of Basic Sciences of CAS, Prof. Horst Stöcker, the director of GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH (GSI), Prof. Boris Sharkov, the FAIR scientific director and over 70 participants from more than 10 institutions from home and abroad.
