HEPS Achieved a Historical Milestone

HEPS Achieved a Historical Milestone

On Oct 29, the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) reached a historic milestone by passing the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ performance acceptance. A key project under the 13th Five-year Plan, HEPS started construction in June 2019. Built over six years, it is Asia’s first fourth-generation synchrotron radiation facility, set to generate the world’s brightest hard X-rays for scientific research.

CEPC Releases the Technical Design Report of Reference Detector

CEPC Releases the Technical Design Report of Reference Detector

The Circular Electron-Positron Collider (CEPC) study group has released the CEPC Technical Design Report of Reference Detector (RefTDR) (arXiv:2510.05260). Following the publication of the Accelerator Technical Design Report at the end of 2023, this detector report signifies that the technical designs of the two core components of the CEPC project—the accelerator and the detector—have both been successfully completed. It lays a decisive foundation for turning this "Higgs factory" from idea into reality.
