On November 28, 2025, the First Workshop on SHINE Muon Source and Its Applications (SMS 2025) was successfully convened at Tsung-Dao Lee Institute (TDLI) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The event was co-hosted by TDLI, the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute (SARI) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and ShanghaiTech University.
The workshop brought together over thirty distinguished experts and scholars from renowned domestic universities and research institutes, including Fudan University, ShanghaiTech University, the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP-CAS), the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP-CAS), and SARI-CAS. Kim Siang served as the meeting convener and delivered the opening remarks. Yusuke and Jun Kai from our group also presented the overview of the SHINE Muon Source project and the beam test preparation at SHINE in 2026.

During the thematic report sessions, experts engaged in in-depth exchanges on various frontier directions. The comprehensive agenda covered the latest progress of the SHINE facility, R&D on the SHINE muon source and related physics, muon spin spectroscopy and its technical applications, muon imaging technology, and dark matter research based on muon beams. The attendees not only shared their latest research findings and frontier trends but also systematically outlined the development roadmap of domestic muon sources—from planning and construction to practical application. The experts unanimously recognized the immense potential latent in this field.
The successful organization of this workshop has significantly promoted academic exchange and resource sharing in the field of SHINE muon source and its applications, laying a solid foundation for future scientific collaboration and key technical breakthroughs. Furthermore, this meeting has accumulated valuable experience for the continued hosting of this workshop series. Taking this event as an opportunity, we look forward to fostering more substantive collaborations and jointly advancing innovation and development in China’s muon physics and advanced light source technologies.
