The Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was founded in l957. As of 2013, the institute had 892 staff members including 403 researchers, as well as 284 master's and doctoral students.IMP operates the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL), which consists of the Sector Focusing Cyclotron
Uranium dioxide nuclear fuel has been widely used in pressurized water reactors (PWR), because of its high melting point, isotropic expansion, excellent radiation behaviors and mechanical properties. However, it is easy to embrittlement and the thermal conductivity is quite low. Compared with traditional uranium oxides nuclear fuel, the uranium carbide has extremely high hardness and no phase transition occurs in wide temperature range. Learn more
Elastic scattering of halo nuclei is one of the hot topics in nuclear physics. Many experimental and theoretical efforts have been done on the elastic scattering of neutron halo nuclei at energies near the Coulomb barrier and the suppression of the Coulomb rainbow peak is observed. Learn more
CiADS will be the world's first megawatt-class accelerator-driven subcritical system research facility.
In China, the Heavy Ion Research Facility at Lanzhou (HIRFL) is one major national research facility fo...
