Abstract(summary):

The Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), is China's biggest laboratory for basic sciences. IHEP aims to understand the universe at the most fundamental level-from the smallest subatomic particles to the large-scale structure of the cosmos. As well as theoretical and experimental research into particle and astroparticle physics, IHEP has a broad range of research in related fields from accelerator technologies to nuclear analysis techniques. The Institute also provides beam facilities for researchers in other fields of sciences.
