The High Intensity Heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) in Huizhou, China, has completed construction and is now operational for experiments. It can deliver high-intensity ion beams ranging from hydrogen to uranium, supporting a wide range of experiments—including studies of exotic nuclear structure, superheavy nuclei, nuclear matter, and hypernuclei. For instance, a stable beam 209Bi ions of 3.16×10^10 particles per pulse, with an energy of 851 MeV/u, has been generated and successfully stored in the booster ring. Based on the requirements from the physics program, a High Rigidity Radioactive Beam Line (HIRIBL) with a length of 192 m and maximum magnetic rigidity of 25 Tm, was designed and constructed. HIRIBL is one of the science pillars at HIAF. As a scientific user facility, HIAF/HIRIBL welcomes scientists from around the world to participate in its research activities.
On this occasion, we plan to organize the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Youth Salon Related to HIAF/HIRIBL. The salon aims to bring together a small group of active international scientists for discussions on future experimental opportunities, detector developments, and international collaborations related to HIAF/HIRIBL and next-generation radioactive-ion-beam facilities
The salon will be organized by Institute of Modern Physics (IMP), with special support from CAS. The date will be 8 Nov, 2026 (arrival day) - 12 Nov, 2026 (departure day). Dusit Thani Sandalwoods Resort shuangyue Bay Huizhou will be the location, where is not far from the HIAF facility.
