In recent years, the Institutional Center for Shared Technologies and Facilities has continuously enhanced its instrument development capabilities and support service levels, steadily improving instrument utilization efficiency and the professional competence of technical personnel. It has established nationally leading platforms for low-energy heavy-ion applications and analytical testing, providing robust support for the institute's mission to secure the technological high ground.

Currently, the center employs 12 technical support staff members, including 8 with senior professional titles and 7 with postgraduate degrees or higher. They are primarily responsible for the construction, operation, maintenance, and external experiments of the low-energy heavy ion application platform and the analytical testing platform. 

1. Provide low-energy, high-current, and high-charged heavy ion beams, primarily used for frontier exploration, such as material irradiation, plasma physics, atomic and molecular physics, and nuclear astrophysics.

2. Undertake analysis and testing tasks for material micro-regions, including morphology, structure, and elemental composition of nuclear energy materials, nuclear power materials, and new civil materials.

3. Carry out analytical and testing tasks for biomedical research, including proteomics, metabolomics, drug screening, heavy-ion cancer therapy, as well as microbial and plant irradiation breeding, etc.

4. Responsible for the development of the institute's technical support system and the sharing of large-scale research instruments.

1.Publications

More than 600 SCI‑indexed papers, including those in Physical Review Letters (PRL) and Physics Letters B (PLB), have been published based on the center's support.

2.Patents

Obtained over 10 authorized national patents.
