   Yuan Changzheng and Shen Xiaoyan Awarded Respectively Wang Ganchang Prize and Xie Xide Prize TEXT SIZE: A A A
——

The Chinese Physical Society published the list of the 2014-2015 prize winners in China's field of physics on July 16, 2015. 

Among the winners, two are from IHEP. Prof. Yuan Changzheng was awarded "Wang Ganchang Prize" and Prof. Shen Xiaoyan was awarded "Xie Xide Prize" for their excellent work and discoveries in high energy physics experiments. 

Working together with his research team, Prof. Yuan Changzheng discovered the charged charmoniumlike states Zc(3900) and Zc(4020) at the BESIII Experiment, and the neutral charmoniumlike state Y(4660) at the Belle Experiment. The Zc states were highlighted as the discovery of  "four-quark matters" by "Physics" of the American Physics Society, and "Quark quartet opens fresh vista on matter" by "Nature". 

Prof. Shen Xiaoyan and her colleagues have accomplished many experimental studies of international impact at BEPCII/BESIII, especially in the field of hadron spectroscopy. Those innovational achievements including the observation of X(1810) near the ωφ mass threshold, the observation of Y(2175) in J/ψ decays, the discovery of anomalously large isospin violation in η(1405) to f0(980)π decay and the systematic studies of glueballs. As the spokesperson of the BESIII Collaboration (about 400 physicists from 55 institutions in 13 countries), Shen Xiaoyan has led the Collaboration achieving a series of significant physics results.
