Brief Introduction

The nuclear detector group is mainly responsible for the research and development of detectors required for nuclear physics experiments and the operation and maintenance of beam terminal detectors. It conducts fundamental and forward-looking innovative research on nuclear detection technologies such as semiconductors, scintillators, and gases, as well as the integration technology of experimental terminal spectrometers, cultivates professional technical talents in the field of nuclear detection, and widely conducts domestic and international cooperation. It provides technical foundation and support for the research and development of related disciplines such as particle physics, nuclear physics, particle astrophysics, and nuclear technology applications at home and abroad.

The group currently has 22 employees, including 5 employees with senior professional titles, 1 postdoctoral fellow, and 7 graduate students. 

Research Fields

1. Research on advanced gas, semiconductor and scintillator detection technologies, as well as exploration of new application scenarios, such as large time projection chambers (TPC), micro-gap gas detectors, wide bandgap semiconductors and silicon microstrip detectors, etc.

2. Research on the integration technology of high-energy nuclear physics experiments and nuclear technology application terminal spectrometers in accelerators.

3. Research on non-accelerator nuclear detection technologies, such as space radiation particle detection technology and nuclear radiation detection instruments, etc.
