Han Liang, male, born in October 1970, is a professor and doctoral supervisor. His research areas include precise measurement of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model, the search for new physics beyond the Standard Model, detector experimental techniques, and phenomenology of new physics beyond the Standard Model at TeV hadron colliders. He has conducted research in major international high-energy physics collaborations, including the Tevatron/D0 experiment at Fermilab and the LHC/ATLAS experiment at CERN. His work on the precise measurement of the weak mixing angle sin2θW has yielded the most precise results for light quark-related weak mixing angles globally. At the ATLAS experiment, he proposed and led the search for new physics involving supersymmetric R-parity violating lepton resonances. He has overseen the development of the ATLAS Phase 1 Muon spectrometer trigger system and its front-end electronics under a major NSFC-CERN international cooperation project. He has published over 100 papers in top international journals such as PRL, PRB, PRD, JHEP, and EPJC.
He has received numerous honors, including the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars and the academic leadership of the Ministry of Education's Innovation Team in Particle Physics Experimentation and Detection Techniques. In 2014, he was honored with the title of “Young and Middle-Aged Leading Talents in Scientific and Technological Innovation” of the Ministry of Science and Technology. In 2016, he was selected into the second batch of leading scientific and technological innovation talents under the National Ten Thousand Talents Program. In 2017, he received support from the NSFC for innovative research groups.
Education and Work Experience
· 1992 - 2000: Obtained B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC); remained at USTC to teach. Research focused on phenomenology of particle physics and the production mechanisms of new supersymmetric particles and phenomena at TeV colliders.
· 2000 - 2004: Served as a member of the University of Manchester team, participating in the international collaboration of the Tevatron collider D0 experiment at Fermilab, responsible for the Level 1 Central Tracking Trigger (L1CTT) system upgrade for high-luminosity proton collisions. The design was approved by the U.S. Department of Energy's Lehman Review and became the blueprint for the L1CTT upgrade.
· 2004: Served as a professor at the Department of Modern Physics, USTC. Conducted the D0 experimental physics research on lepton identification, electron energy calibration, and energy resolution scale in high-energy, high-luminosity hadron collisions; proposed a theoretical scenario for the detection of new particle resonance states of supersymmetric R-parity violating e+muon at the TeV hadron collider; led the D0 experiment’s physics measurements; and achieved the most precise measurement of the weak mixing angle sin2θW in the Standard Model using forward-backward charge symmetry in Tevatron proton-antiproton collisions.
· 2006: Participated in the ATLAS Physics Analysis international cooperation project, focusing on the search for new supersymmetric particles, experiment research on the measurement of diboson final states and detection of anomalous gauge couplings in experiments.
