Institute of Particle Physics (IOPP)
The focus of the Institution of Particle Physics (IOPP) at Central China Normal University (CCNU) has been on the physics of hot and dense matter in high-energy heavy-ion collisions since its establishment in 1977. It now has over 40 faculties engaging in a wide range of cutting-edge research covering both theoretical and experimental particle physics, nuclear physics, detector technology and electronics for nuclear physics and complex systems. We are members of the STAR Collaboration at Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC), ALICE and LHCb Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and many other experiments in China and abroad. It is also the host to Key Laboratory for Quark and Lepton Physics of Ministry of Education (MOE), Joint Center for International Collaboration on Quark Matter and Detection Technology of Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), Pixel Laboratory at CCNU (PLAC), Nuclear Science Computer Center at CCNU (NSC3), and Central China Center for Nuclear Theory (C3NT).
