The Atomic Physics Research Center (AP center) at the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, consists of four research groups. The center has more than 30 staff members and 25 graduate students (Master and PhD).

Based on the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL) and High Intensity heavy ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF), AP center is committed to experimental research of atomic physics under extreme conditions, and development of state-of-the-art experimental technologies. Research topics include:

1. Few-body quantum problems in ultrafast collisions between ion /electron /XUV photon and atom/molecule/cluster

2. Test of QED in strong Coulomb field through precision spectroscopy of highly charged ions at storage ring

3. Generation and diagnostics of high-energy density matter driven by heavy ion beam

4. LIBS application for nuclear waste monitoring

In collaboration with worldwide well-known research institutions, AP center is becoming one of the leading international research organizations, promoting science and technology of atomic physics on HIAF and relevant large-scale facilities.

1. Precision spectroscopy of highly charged ions

2. Ultrafast Dynamics in Extreme Fields Group

3. High energy density physics

4. Atomic Spectroscopy‌ Application Technology
