The High Intensity Heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) in Huizhou China has completed its construction, and has been running for experiments. HIAF is composed of a superconducting ion linear accelerator, a high-energy synchrotron booster, a high-energy radioactive isotope beam line, an experimental storage ring, and a few experimental setups. HIAF can provide high-intensity ion beams from hydrogen to uranium for various experiments including studies of exotic nuclear structure, superheavy nuclei, nuclear matter and hypernuclei. For example, 209Bi ions of 3.16×10^10 particles per pulse with an energy of 851 MeV/u has been generated stably and stored in the booster. As a scientific user facility, scientists around the world are welcome to join HIAF activities. The primary scientific goals of HIAF include:
- to explore the limits of the existence of nuclides in terms of proton and neutron numbers as well as mass number;
- to find new exotic structure of weakly-bound nuclei, and reveal new physics beyond;
- to understand the origin of chemical elements including heavy elements from iron through uranium in the Universe.
On this occasion, we plan to organize the Frontier Nuclear Physics Symposium Related to HIAF, dedicated to physics program @HIAF.
The workshop will be co-organized by Southern Center for Nuclear-Science Theory (SCNT), State Key Laboratory of Heavy Ion Science and Technology, and Institute of Modern Physics (IMP).
