Langchow plans heavy‐ion facility

APR 01, 1980

Gloria B. Lubkin

The Institute of Modern Physics in Langchow is one of three nuclear‐physics institutes in the People’s Republic of China and the only one I saw during my recent visit (PHYSICS TODAY, March 1980, page 32). The Institute has ambitous plans for a new heavy‐ion facility whose first phase, scheduled to operate in 1985, is expected to produce heavy ions from carbon to xenon—with 50 MeV/nucleon for low Z and 6 MeV/nucleon for high Z. The second phase would produce light ions with 100 MeV/nucleon and all ions up to uranium with 10 MeV/nucleon.
