About IHEP

The Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is China’s leading laboratory for particle physics. Our mission is to deepen our understanding of the universe at the most fundamental level, exploring everything from subatomic particles to the large-scale structure of the cosmos. We are also committed to applying the knowledge and technology gained from our research for the benefit of humanity. In addition to our theoretical and experimental work in particle and astroparticle physics, we engage in a wide range of research across related fields, including accelerator technology and nuclear analysis techniques. IHEP also provides beam facilities for researchers from other fields.

Our main campus is located on Yuquan Road in the western part of Beijing. This campus houses the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider, the BESIII experiment, the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility, and most of IHEP’s research and administrative staff. Meanwhile, our Huairou campus, located in northern Beijing, is currently commissioning the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS), a cutting-edge 4th generation synchrotron radiation light source with an energy of 6GeV.

The Dongguan campus is home to one of China's premier national research facilities for materials science, the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS). This facility produces neutrons using an accelerator-based system that delivers proton pulses to a tungsten target through a process called spallation. The neutrons are directed toward state-of-the-art instruments that provide a variety of capabilities for researchers across a broad range of disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science. Additionally, IHEP is involved in major experiments like JUNO in Guangdong, AliCPT in Tibet, and LHAASO in Sichuan.
