On November 27th, the first meeting of the CSNS Science and Technology Committee was held in Dongguan Campus. The meeting was chaired by Prof. Shen Baogen, director of the Science and Technology Committee. 26 members of the committee, including 9 academicians of CAS, attended the meeting.

Wang Yifang, director of IHEP, gave a welcome speech. He thanked the experts for their support for CSNS, and hoped that through the meeting, CSNS will gain valuable suggestions on the opening and upgrading of the facility. Prof. Chen Hesheng reported on the implementation of the project phase, the facility operation status, as well as the future plan of phase two.

Prof. Wang Sheng, Prof. Liang Tianjiao and Prof. Wang Fangwei, respectively made a report entitled “CSNS Accelerator Beam Power Upgrade”, “CSNS Target Power Upgrade” and “CSNS Neutron Scattering Instrument Plan”.
 

After discussion, the experts agreed that the plan of the construction of CSNS instruments and the preliminary plan of the phase two were reasonable and feasible. They suggested that CSNS should reach the beam power design as soon as possible, and strive to achieve stable and efficient operation. It is also suggested that CSNS should meanwhile start the construction of phase two quickly to meet users' needs.
 

At the end of the meeting, Prof. Chen Hesheng thanked the experts again for their valuable suggestions for the future development of CSNS. He also stressed that the CSNS will serve as a user device and strive to meet the national strategic needs.
