Kim-Siang reported progress of the group at the TDLI Annual Meeting 2020. Research activities have been hit hard by COVID19 but overall we have made progress in terms of team building (Postdoc, PhD, Master and Undergraduate Students), funding applications (won several grants), teaching activities (Thermal Physics, University Physics II – offline + online), etc. Hopefully 2021 will be an even better year!
Poster for MOE Key Laboratory
We have prepared a Muon g-2 poster for the Key Laboratory for Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology of Ministry of Education (粒子天体物理与宇宙学教育部重点实验室).
2020 EMuS & MOMENT General Meeting
Kim-Siang talked about Muon g-2/EDM experiments and their requirements to future muon sources at the 2020 EMuS & MOMENT General Meeting. It is the first step in fostering collaborations between Chinese institutions in Muon Physics. For more information, please visit https://indico.ihep.ac.cn/event/13295.
Seminar at the 21st J-PARC muon g-2/EDM collaboration meeting
Kim-Siang was invited to give a seminal talk on the progress of Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment. It was a good exchange between the teams in the world working on resolving the muon g-2 puzzle. For more details, please visit https://kds.kek.jp/event/36169/.
CAS Center for Excellence in Particle Physics – 8th All-Hands Meeting
Kim-Siang presented the current status of Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment at the 8th All-Hands Meeting of the CAS Center for Excellence in Particle Physics (中国科学院粒子物理前沿卓越创新中心, 第八次全体会议) at IHEP. Due to COVID travel restriction, the talk was given via zoom. Details about the meeting can be found here: https://indico.ihep.ac.cn/event/12962/.
Our first SJTU Sports Day!
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and active in team building are very important in ones scientific career. There is no better way than participating in the University’s Sports Day!
NSFC Grants for Kim-Siang Khaw
Kim-Siang Khaw has been awarded NSFC General Program (面上基金) and The NSFC Research Fund for International Young Scientists (外国青年学者研究基金) starting from Jan 2021. These funds are granted for precision muon physics experiments in muon anomalous magnetic moment and muon electric dipole moment.
Midterm evaluation for 38th PRP
Meng Lv and Le He have made an excellent presentation at the 38th Participation in Research Program on Nov 18, 2020 for our Dark SHINE experiment.
muCool demonstrates muon-beam transverse phase-space compression
The muCool collaboration that Kim-Siang has been part of since 2011 has published results demonstrating the transverse part of the muon-beam phase-space compression. This results have been highlighted as Editors’ suggestion in Phys. Rev. Lett. The paper can be found at https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.125.164802.
Simulation and Analysis Workshop for Dark SHINE experiment
On Aug 21, 2020, we successfully held a workshop on the Simulation and Analysis for Dark SHINE experiment. Presentations were made on several aspects of the experiment and we had a fruitful discussion about the future plan of the experiment.
