Huizhou accelerator complex facility and its future development

本文概述了基于粒子加速器的核物理研究主要的前沿方向和重要科学问题,分析了用于核物理研究的粒子加速器大科学装置发展现状和未来发展态势.国家"十二五"重大科技基础设施"强流重离子加速器装置"(High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility,HIAF)和"加速器驱动的嬗变研究装置"(China Initiative Accelerator Driven System,CiADS)正在广东惠州建设.以HIAF和CiADS为基础,本文提出建设用于核物理及其交叉前沿研究的大型带电粒子加速器集群装置——高亮度电子-离子研究装置(Bright Electron and Ion Research Facility,BEIF).依托BEIF装置拟开展的核物理前沿研究方向包括原子核结构、核天体物理、核子结构、夸克物质相结构,以及基础物理若干重要前沿与核物理的交叉,如高离化态原子物理、重离子驱动的高能量密度物理等.BEIF是由多台超导直线加速器、同步加速器、储存环、反应堆和各类大型实验探测器及实验终端等组成的大科学装置集群.BEIF计划分三期进行建设,建成后的装置将极大地推动我国的核物理和核科学技术研究能力的提升.

This paper provides an overview of the frontier research fields and significant questions in nuclear physics regarding particle accelerators,and the status and future development trends for big-science facilities of particle accelerators are reviewed.Two Chinese government-approved"12 th Five-Year"major science infrastructure facilities,the"High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility(HIAF)"and"China Initiative Accelerator Driven System(CiADS)",are being constructed in Huizhou,Guangdong Province.Based on these two big-science projects(HIAF and CiADS),we proposed to establish a large-scale charged particle accelerator complex facility named the"Bright Electron and Ion Research Facility(BEIF)."This facility will be dedicated to the research and development of nuclear physics and its interdisciplinary frontier fields.The research frontier fields of nuclear physics at the BEIF will include nuclear structure and astrophysics,nucleon structure,quark matter phase structure,and interdisciplinary fields between several significant frontiers of fundamental and nuclear physics,such as highly charged atomic physics and heavy ion-driven high energy density physics.BEIF will be a large-scale scientific complex facility comprising several superconducting ion LINAC accelerators,synchrotrons,storage rings,reactors,and various large experimental detectors and setups.BEIF will be built in three construction phases and will become one of the premier global large-scale particle accelerator complex facilities dedicated to the research of nuclear physics and technology.
