b. National Program on Key Basic Research Project

 

1.

Project name: The functional electronic materials: regulation and application&nb sp;of their topological quantum characteristics.

 

Project introduction: Six units participate in this project, Shanghai Jiaotong University , Zhejiang University , Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology Institute , Tsinghua Uni versity , University of Science and Technology of China and Peking University. The project is set by the following four topics: (1) Fabrication of topological quantum thin films and their novel properties studied by advanced spectroscopies. (2) Studies of preparation of multiferroic thin films and their heterojunctions and topological quantum effects. (3) Novel states of topological quantum and the exploration& nbsp; of quantum devices. (4) Theoretical and experimental studies on the topological quantum computation.

Project name: PandaX Dark Matter Search Experiment

 

Project introduction: PandaX is designed to build and operate a ton-scale liquid xenon experiment to detect the so far elusive dark matter in the Universe. The experiment uses a two-phase xenon detector located at the China Jin-Ping underground Laboratory (CJPL), which is in the middle of a 18-km tunnel under 2400 meters of rock, in the Sichuan province of south-west China. It is one of the deepest underground labs in the world, ideal for a sensitive dark matter search. The PandaX program will evolve in two stages, initially probing the low-mass regime (<10 GeV/c^2) with a low energy threshold and ultimately employing a ton-scale detector to probe the higher-mass regime (10–1,000 GeV/c^2).

2.

Project Name: Research on new concept of high energy laser facility

 

Project Introduction:

Subject to future applications of green energy, the huge laser facilities are required not only high pulse energy, but also high plug-in efficiency and pulse repetition. However, most of existing laser facilities does not fill these requirements. Coming from the innovation of laser configuration, we are focusing on development of new concept and key technology of high energy laser facilities, exploring a Chinese way to efficiency, repetition and high-energy laser facility.
