Recently, the 23rd International Cooperation Group Conference of Jiangmen Neutrino Experiment was held, and Associate Professor Huang Yongbo from the School of Physical Science and Engineering Technology of our university was awarded the Young Researcher Award of the Cooperation Group.
It is reported that the award was established in 2019, and one young researcher who made significant contributions to the Jiangmen neutrino experiment is selected each year. The candidates need to pass the internal nomination and strict evaluation process of the Jiangmen Neutrino Experiment International Cooperation Group, and the competition is fierce, which is an important recognition of the award-winning young researchers by the Jiangmen Neutrino Experiment International Cooperation Group.
The Jiangmen Neutrino Experiment International Cooperation Group was established in July 2014. Currently, its member units include 74 universities and research institutions from 18 countries and regions, with a total of 700 members. Our university is one of the first batch of member units of the cooperation group. The Jiangmen neutrino experiment is the second large-scale neutrino experiment hosted by China after the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment. As a large scientific device jointly built by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Guangdong Province, it will measure the neutrino mass sequence, accurately measure the neutrino mixing parameters, and also study atmospheric neutrinos, solar neutrinos, supernova neutrinos, and earth neutrinos, with rich physical goals.
