The Institute of High Energy Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of High Energy Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences were established on 2016-10-18. Their business scope includes studying high-energy physics and promoting the development of science and technology. High-energy physics research particle physics and nuclear physics theory research cosmic ray and high-energy astrophysics research accelerator science and technology research nuclear detector and fast electron research synchrotron radiation technology and application research nuclear analysis technology application research free electron laser research radiation protection technology research computer and network application research related academic education, continuing education, professional training, academic exchange and postdoctoral training technology development and promotion "Chinese Physics C" and "Modern Physics Knowledge" are published, which are China's high-energy physics research, advanced accelerator physics and technology research and development, and advanced ray technology and utilization. Its predecessor was Institute of Modern Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences, which was founded in 1950, and later renamed Institute of Physics and Institute of Atomic Energy. 1973 In February, according to the instructions of Premier Zhou Enlai, the Institute of High Energy was established on the basis of the First Institute of Atomic Energy.
By July of 20 14, there were about 1400 employees, including about 1 100 professional technicians. There is also a branch school in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, and Yuquan Road Park of High Energy Institute covers an area of more than 460 mu. It has seven research institutes under its jurisdiction, with more than 470 graduate students and more than 50 postdoctoral students.
