Bio

Hua Pei has kept cooperation with multiple international high-energy nuclear physics experiments since 2002, including the RIHC-PHENIX and RHIC-STAR at Brookhaven National Laboratory at U.S.A., and the LHC-ALICE at CERN. His research focuses on the high-energy jets to explore the properties ofquark-gluon plasma, which is believed to relate to the Big Bang at its first few micro-seconds. He also attends a few detectors R&D in those experiments, including the silicon vertex detector of PHENIX-VTX and the foward silicon calorimeter of ALICE-FOCAL. In addition to international cooperation, he is also active in domestic science project based on silicon lab at CCNU and heavy-ion storage at CSR-HIRFL of IMP, including the external target experiment of CEE at Lanzhou.
