Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences of China's high-energy physics research, accelerator technology, advanced research and development, advanced technology and ray-ray applications, a comprehensive research base. Predecessor was founded in 1950 the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, later renamed Physics, Atomic Energy Research Institute, in 1973 in accordance with the instructions of Premier Zhou Enlai, in the Atomic Energy Research Institute to form the basis of a form.

High Energy Institute a total of 1029 workers, and scientific and technical personnel a total of 712 person. Eight people have Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of Engineering 2 person. So far in 1978, a total of more than 200 awards, including Beijing Electron Positron Collider Project Country progress in science and technology a top award, Beijing 35MeV proton linear accelerator project by the National Science and Technology Progress Award, τ lepton was the accurate measurement of the quality of second-class National Natural Science Award, the Beijing free electron laser devices by National scientific and technological progress second prize, ψ (2S) and charm particles Quarkonium Physics Experimental study of second-class by the National Natural Science Award.

High Energy Institute in recent years and give full play to a wide range of disciplines, a high concentration of intellectual and technological advantages, and social needs facing the country, and actively create a high-tech industry development platform, to strengthen scientific and technological innovations transformed the job, will be advanced accelerator technology, nuclear detection technology into a high-tech products.

National science and technology development for strategic needs, the forefront of world science-oriented, and continuously upgrade concise and scientific objectives, adjust the layout of strengthening science and technology, deepen the reform of institutional mechanisms, and enhance core competitiveness, thus initially forming a comprehensive, large-scale multidisciplinary research base, will be in our country the construction of large scientific facilities to achieve more success, achieve sustained and steady development of scientific and technological innovation system for the country make a greater contribution.
