The Accelerator General Group is an internationally renowned team specializing in beam dynamics and key technological innovation for heavy-ion accelerators. We have built China's significant national scientific facilities, including the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL), the Cooler Storage Ring (CSR) at HIRFL, and the High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF). These facilities have provided China's nuclear science frontier research with a unique series of experimental platforms, propelling China's heavy-ion nuclear science research.

Facing the nation's strategic health needs, the team has developed two generations of heavy-ion radiotherapy devices with complete independent intellectual property rights. Nine sets have been industrialized and promoted, significantly enhancing China's cancer radiotherapy capabilities and providing crucial technological support for implementing the "Healthy China" strategy.

In response to national strategic demands, the team has constructed China's only full-category, full-LET (Linear Energy Transfer) space environment ground-based simulation accelerator cluster. This infrastructure plays a vital role in major national strategic missions.

The team has long been deeply engaged in frontier research on accelerator high-current beam dynamics and key technologies. We have solved international challenges such as high-gain lossy injection and accumulation of high-current beams, multi-harmonic acceleration, and dual-mode efficient extraction, achieving the world's leading heavy-ion pulsed beam intensity. We have constructed a self-owned intellectual property "simulation-communication-storage-control" full-chain AI software platform, overcoming international difficulties in simulating complex dynamic coupling effects and breaking through bottlenecks in TB-level data storage and communication.

The team continues to make breakthrough in areas such as colliding beam dynamics, preparation of ultra-short, strongly focused high-current ion beams, new principles and technologies for extremely fast acceleration, ERL-Ring high-energy electron cooling, new methods for ultra-fast muon cooling, ultra-fast cycle technology development, and novel linear accelerator research. These efforts provide solid technical support for China's nuclear science frontier research, major industrial applications, and national strategic needs.

The team includes 1 academician, 2 distinguished young scholars (NSFC Outstanding Young Investigator awardees), 8 professors and 15 associate professors, forging a resilient and pioneering heavy-ion accelerator innovation team that provides a continuous stream of talent to drive the development of China's nuclear technology sector.
