A Chinese , scholar has just reiterated the idea of building the world’s largest particle collider , in China. His staff had just released a specialized style statement for it in December.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, under the direction of Wang Yifang, director of the Institute of High Energy Physics ( IHEP), said the nation will soon create a blueprint for the construction of the particle collider known as the Circular Electron Positron Collider ( CEPC ), which could cost about 36 billion yuan ( US$ 5 billion ).
He claimed that China might begin building the CEPC in 2027 and that the CEPC’s development would take ten years to complete.
He said , the system can mass produce the Higgs boson or” God’s particle”, which is smaller than an electron and is vital for scientists to know the world.
The CEPC’s aim is to construct a Higgs stock to mass produce Higgs photons and discover new physics phenomena from them, he continued.
Since the Large Hadron Collider ( LHC ) of the European Council for Nuclear Research ( CERN ) was the first to study the Higgs boson in 2012, Wang has been promoting such a concept. At that time, researchers created a Higgs boson, which merely appears in around one in a billion LHC fatalities.
When created, a Higgs boson “decays” into various debris that can be detected in electron monitors. The Higgs industry, which gives size to particles that form everything in the world, was established with the identification of the Higgs boson.  ,
More research in this field will increase the study of particle throttle and detector technologies, directly leading to advancements in medical and aerospace technologies.  ,
Wang told the Global Times in an appointment on March 7 that the release of the CEPC Technical Design Report next December demonstrated that we have the ability to construct the world’s most difficult accelerator.  ,
He claimed that his group has previously chosen three Chinese cities for the proposed atom accelerator.  ,
Industrial software
Science and Technology Minister Yin Hejun reported on March 5 that China’s bills for medical research increased by 9.3 % to 221.2 billion yuan from 2022. The number was merely 49.9 billion yuan in 2012.
China’s clinical studies generally focused on areas that include strength, life, geo- systems and environment, material, particle and atomic physics, space and astronomy, as well as engineering technology.
Xi Jinping, public minister of the Chinese Communist Party, said in an essay published last August that China had in recent years achieved breakthroughs in various areas, including metal- based solid, classical information, stem cell and neuroscience, but remained delayed in upgrading its semiconductor and aero- engine technologies.  ,
Xi said China may make use of its “whole nation” approach and concentrate on important research, which can eventually lead to the creation of business applications.
Under these conditions, China may try toward spending on classical and integration experiments more than particle incident, according to some commentators.
Strong debate
The Higgs mechanism, which gives particles mass, was first described in British physicist Peter Higgs ‘ papers in 1964. Additionally, he suggested that the Higgs boson exists.
Scientists at the LHC announced in July 2012 that they had discovered a signal that most likely came from a Higgs boson with a mass of 125 to 126 billion electrons ( GeV ). This resulted in the 2013 Nobel Prizes for Peter Higgs and Francois Englert, Belgium.
Some scientists had warned that the LHC particle collision might lead to a black hole and obliterate the world prior to this. Fortunately, their theory was proven wrong.
The High-Luminosity LHC, which will be able to produce at least 15 million Higgs bosons annually by 2029, was proposed by CERN in 2013.  ,
Chinese physicists suggested China build the CEPC super proton-proton collider ( SppC ) at the same time. The Technical Design Report and Conceptual Design Report were both released in November 2018 and December 2023.  ,
However, the project has n’t yet been approved because senior scientists have different viewpoints.  ,
Yang Chen- Ning, a Chinese physicist and Nobel Prize laureate, stated in 2016 that building a particle collider is not worthwhile because it will either achieve nothing or only aid some influential foreign scientists in winning the Nobel Prize. He claimed that local talent should be groomed.  ,
The CEPC project, according to Chinese-American mathematician Yau Shing-Tung, will help China attract 10,000 foreign scientists at a cost of about 40 billion yuan ($ 2), which is reasonably priced given how much money will be spent over the course of 20 years. He claimed that Shanhaiguan or Qinhuangdao could be the sites of construction.
Yau may want to use the particle collider to test his mathematical theory, according to an article from Tsinghua University.
