Abstract:

Search and study of QCD exotics beyond simple quark model provide critical information on the quantitative understanding of strong interaction and confinement in the low energy regime. Charmonium decays provide a gluon-rich environment and are therefore regarded as one of the most promising hunting grounds for QCD exotics with gluonic excitation. A selection of recent progress in the light-quark sector with unprecedented high-statistics data sets from BESIII experiment will be presented.

About the speaker:

Beijiang Liu is a professor of experimental particle physics in Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP, CAS). He received his B.S from Tongji university in 2003, his PhD form IHEP in 2008. In 2008-2011, he worked as a joint postdoctoral follow at University of Hongkong and Chinese university of Hongkong.

His principal research interest is experimental study of hadron spectroscopy, including BESIII, GlueX and PANDA experiment. He served in BESIII management positions as the convener of light hadron physics, physics coordinator and deputy chair of speakers’ bureau. He is very committed to the R&D of the PWA techniques, high performance computing and offline software. He is holding the Excellent Young Scientists Fund of NSFC. He is the project leader of “light hadron” in the National Key R&D Program “QCD exotics and hadron spectroscopy”.
