Kim Siang Khaw

From Mar 3rd to 4th, Kim Siang visited Lanzhou for the first time to engage in an academic exchange with Prof. Zhiyi Liu’s group on Muography, accompanied by several officers from the Shanghai government. He also gave a seminar talk on Muon Physics at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP), CAS. We enjoyed a comprehensive tour of IMP’s accelerator facility, which was truly eye-opening. The trip was extremely successful, as we learned a great deal about muography from Prof. Liu’s group and had extensive discussions about future collaborations with both Lanzhou University and IMP. We look forward to our next visit!

We are accepting SJTU Summer Research Internship students this summer! The program we offer is the measurement of the muon properties using tabletop setup in our laboratory at the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute.

Eligibility Requirements:
– Students must have completed at least one year of an undergraduate program and be currently enrolled as an undergraduate;
– Hold at least a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale or equivalent;
– Students from non-English speaking countries must provide an English language proficiency certificate.

The program will start on Jul 1st and last until Aug 11th, 2024. Please apply by May 30th for the application to be considered.

You will find more information about the internship in this brochure: https://global.sjtu.edu.cn/en/news/view/718.

Kim Siang has represented the accelerator-based particle physics experimental group for the Key Laboratory for Shanghai and MOE for the annual report. In the presentation, Kim Siang elaborated the progress in three main directions of the group, the collider experiments (ATLAS and CEPC), the fixed-target experiment (Dark SHINE) and the storage ring experiments (Muon g-2 and muEDM). Lots of progress have been made for 2023 and we hope for more in 2024!

Meng has attended the 27th J-PARC Muon g-2/EDM Collaboration Meeting at Niigata University and presented a talk about the status of the muon polarization monitor. The exchange between the Shanghai Muon Physics Group and the KEK/J-PARC Muon Physics group has became a regular and we hope for a stronger collaboration in the future!

Kim Siang and Tianqi have presented talks about the Shanghai Muon Source and the PSI muEDM experiment at the Shanghai Particle and Nuclear Physics Annual Meeting at Tongji University. It was a great opportunity to present the progress of our research program and to meet up with fellow physicists in the same region.

Kim Siang was invited to be a speaker at the 《致交论道》event organized by the Zhiyuan College at SJTU. The topic of discussion was “What is the new physics behind the N-th place of decimals”.

Kim Siang was recently invited to give an overview talk on electromagnetic dipole moments at the prestigious ICFA seminar 2023 on “Future Perspectives in High Energy Physics”. It is a four-day international exchange of information concentrating on plans for future facilities in the field of particle physics. The meeting is by invitation only and comprises the directors of most of the world’s major laboratories in our field, senior particle and accelerator physicists, and government science officials from several countries. Please visit the link for more details about the meeting: https://indico.desy.de/event/38293/.

Our group recently participated in the first Workshop on Muon Science Technology and Industry (MELODY2023) at the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS). Kim Siang presented our group’s efforts in the Shanghai Muon Source, the Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment and the PSI muEDM experiment. All the progress would not be possible without the hardwork of all the group members! More information about the workshop can be found here: https://indico.ihep.ac.cn/event/20601/.

On Oct 25, 2023, Kim-Siang presented a poster about “Precise measurements of muon properties and muon factory” at the faculty-student exchange sesssion (2024年“致远学者研究计划”师生交流会) at the Zhiyuan Innovative Research Center (ZIRC).

Meng has successfully defended the Zhiyuan Scholar’s project at the Annual report meeting. Congratulations to the team (Meng Lyu, Xintong Cai, Fangyuan Yu and Siyuan Chen) for completing such a nice project!
