Professor Cai Xiaoqiang, the Dean of the School of Science and Engineering, Professor Li Xuejin, Associate Vice President of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) paid a visit to the Spallation Neutron Source in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, on December 17th. They received warm welcome from Chen Yuanbai, the executive director of the Institute of High Energy Physics and Director of the Dongguan branch and other local officials. The CUHK (SZ) group visited the spallation neutron source model followed with an on-site forum.

In the meeting, the two sides watched a promotional video of neutron source, Director Chen Yuanbai introduced the progress of the spallation neutron source project, the principle of work and its prospect. The two sides also discussed about cooperation in the future.
