Who Am I ?

    I am a Post-Doctor at the High Energy Physics Group of the University of Hawaii. The position is for BESIII, which is scheduled to begin running in 2008. Tasks include working on hardware and sofware for the BESIII TOF monitoring system, BESIII software, in general, and BESIII physics and simulation. The position commenced on July 1, 2007. A postscript version of mv CV is here (old, not updated).

  Marriage

    I was married to Lei Zhang on June 13, 2007. She is very very beautiful and she can speak Korean very very fluently. However I can not speak one word! She obtained her Master Degree on Business Administration in Dong-A University, Busan, Korea. We have a son: Richard R. Shen.

BES and Belle

I am belong to BES Collaboration, doing BESIII physics and simulation. BEPCII is a high luminosity, multi-bunch collider, which requires a comparable high quality detector with the modern detector technology inorder to compete with CLEO Collaboration. BESIII has to be built to meet the following requirements:
  1. . Very good photon energy resolution, good angle resolution for photon measurement. Crystal calorimeter, such as CsI, is one of the best choice.
  2. . Accurate 4-momenta measurement of low momentum charged particles. A drift chamber based on He gas is one of the best choice.
  3. . Good hadron identification capabilities. Both Cherenkov detector and Time-of-Flight system can meet our requirements.
  4. . A modern data acquisition system and the front-end electronics system based on the pipeline technique, which can accommodate multi-bunch mode.
I am also belong to Belle Collaboration, doing ISR physics. Belle is an experiment at the KEK B-factory. Its goal is to study the origin of CP violation, observe CPV in B-meson Decays, and to better understand CPV Phenomena.
     We can also use Belle data to do other topic physics, besides B physcis, for example: two photon process and tau decays, ISR processes, Upsilon(5S) physics , Search for the new particles, ... Our (Prof. Yuan Changzheng, Associate Prof. Wang Ping, and Dr. Wang Xiaolong) research topics are regarded as HOT topics by Belle. It is our pleasure!
     In the University of Hawaii, there is also a Belle sub-group . They have done a lot great work!
     You could find my photo-graph in the following Belle webpage.
