摘要:
Particle physics explores three basic frontiers, often called cosmic, energy, and intensity. Experiments at these frontiers are complementary in search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. At the turn of the century the experiments at the Cosmic Frontier have demonstrated that only 5\% of the contents of the Universe are well understood, with the rest composed of mysterious dark matter and dark energies, and has also found evidence for oscillations of neutrinos produced in the atmosphere, sun and accelerator. The energy scales associated with the vacuum/dark energy in the Universe and neutrino masses clearly signal phenomenon that are beyond the Standard Model, precisely because of the discrepancy of these scales with those in the Standard Model. Theoretically, understanding the nature of the quantum vacuum and the non-perturbative dynamics of quantum field theories still presents the great challenge. One of the great modern quests in science is to understand the dark, hidden and invisible constituents of the universe, and their intimate relation with the nature of the quantum vacuum and the structure of space-time itself.
The high intensity hadron accelerators CSNS, CIADS and HIAF have been approved by the Chinese central government and are now under construction or under design. They all can provide high intensity primary proton beams. In particular, the designed parameter of the average beam current and beam power of the CADS is at the world's top level. On other hands, Shanghai Coherent Light Facility (SCLF) made up of one optical laser with 800nm and a hundred PW and one X-ray Free Electron Laser with 25keV and high repetitive frequency has been also approved to construct last year. This provide for China to do research at the intensity frontier with excellent discovery reach of new phenomena.
The fundamental physics at these facilities will be discussed in this talk.
