Meng and Jiangtao presented a poster on our Shanghai Muon Source project at the International Accelerator Physics Conference (IPAC’23) in Venice, Italy. It is attended by over 1,000 participants on an island in Venice with lots of talks, poster presentations, and social activities. More information about the conference can be found here: https://www.ipac23.org/.
Workshop on Muon Physics at the Intensity and Precision Frontiers (MIP2023)
The Workshop on Muon Physics at the Intensity and Precision Frontiers (MIP2023) was successfully held in our institute from Apr 15-16, 2023. We had about 100 in-person participants, 25 plenary talks, and 15 poster presentations during the workshop. Cheng presented the current status of the Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment, Tianqi presented the status of the PSI Muon EDM experiment, and Meng presented the idea of SHINE Muon Source. Yonghao, Jun Kai, Guan Ming, Meng, Xintong, Fangyuan, Siyuan also presented posters on their works on the Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment, the PSI Muon EDM experiment, and the J-PARC Muon g-2/EDM experiment. Our PRP and graduate students (Jiangtao Wang, Meng Lv, Fangchao Liu, Liang Wang, and Siyuan Chen) won one of the three best poster awards. A big congratulations! We also gave a tour to workshop attendees our newly constructed muon lab. More information can be found at https://indico-tdli.sjtu.edu.cn/event/1465/.
SJTU-KEK Muon Physics Exchange in the Minhang Campus
Prof. Tsutomu Mibe (KEK and Univ. of Tokyo) and Dr. Yusuke Takeuchi (Kyushu University) came to Shanghai for the 2nd meeting (1st in-person) of SJTU-KEK Muon Physics Exchange Program sponsored by NSFC and JSPS Academic Exchange Program, from Apr 13 – 14, 2023. We shared our recent progress in muon physics experiments and had lunch together at the GIMLID Pizza on the SJTU Minhang Campus. Prof. Liang Li, Prof. Kim Siang Khaw, Guan Ming Wong, Meng Lv, Jiangtao Wang, Yonghao Zeng, and Zejia Lu joined the academic exchange lunch session.
Muon EDM Collaboration April Meeting 2023 at PSI
Kim Siang made the first international business trip in 3 years to PSI for the Muon EDM Collaboration April Meeting 2023 from Apr 15 – 16. He presented TDLI’s contribution to the collaboration on the topic of the muon telescope detector at the Nov 2022 beam test. The two-day meeting was very fruitful, with lots of physics and technical discussions and delicious cuisines from the PSI’s OASE cafeteria.
A PMT-based setup for measuring muon’s polarization
In addition to the setup designed and constructed by the ZIRC team, we have another version of the muon spin polarization measurement setup based on PMT and plastic scintillators.
A setup for detecting atmospheric muons
After months of hard work by the ZIRC project team, a setup for measuring the atmospheric muon’s polarization is now operating! Looking forward to extracting important information for subsequent studies related to muon polarization.
The setup consists of 4 planes of detectors where each plane has an array of 6 plastic scintillators 
Each scintillator is light-readout by a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), and the signals are processed using a CAEN DT5702 digitizer.

Workshop on Muon Physics at the Intensity and Precision Frontiers
The MIP 2023 workshop offers a welcoming environment for physicists interested in muon physics and its applications, inviting both experimental and theoretical communities to come together and share their latest findings. This workshop aims to facilitate discussions on ongoing and proposed experiments, as well as to encourage participants to consider future possibilities.
Designed to promote thoughtful conversations and the exchange of ideas, the workshop provides a fresh perspective on muon-based experiments. This collaborative atmosphere ensures that all attendees have the opportunity to contribute to and learn from the collective knowledge of their peers.
Hosted at the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute (TDLI) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the MIP 2023 workshop is an on-site event that welcomes all who share a passion for muon physics. Join us at TDLI, where you can connect with fellow enthusiasts and further your understanding of this fascinating field. The workshop will cover the following topics:
- Development of muon sources (MELODY, HIAF/CiADS, SMS, MuSIC)
- Precision measurements (g-2, EDM)
- Searches for rare processes (MACE, Mu2e, COMET)
- Muon applications (muSR, muography)
- Theoretical muon physics
- Muon accelerators and colliders
- Neutrino physics
The workshop is co-organized by the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute and the School of Physics and Astronomy of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the Institute of High Energy Physics CAS, the Institute of Modern Physics CAS, Advanced Energy Science and Technology Guangdong Laboratory, and Sun Yat-Sen University.
Muon Detector Lab completing renovation
Our detector development lab is finally open for business! In the process of completing the renovation, we have completed the construction of a muon entrance detector and had it shipped to PSI for a test beam in November. Kudos to the team members for helping out.
中国物理学会秋季学术会议2022
Our group has contributed several poster presentations to the Fall Meeting of the Chinese Physical Society 2022. Meng was awarded the best poster in particle physics for his work on the J-PARC muon polarization monitor (Meng, Xintong, Fangyuan, and Siyuan). Congratulations to the team!

Physics of fundamental Symmetries and Interactions – PSI2022
Tianqi and Jun Kai represented our group at the PSI 2022 conference presenting 3 posters on muon physics experiments (Muon g-2 and muEDM). It is one of the first onsite conference presentations that our group gave over the last two years! It’s good to be able to meet fellow physicists face to face!
