ZHAO Zhengguo(赵政国)Zhengguo Zhao, born in 1956 in Jing County of Hunan Province, graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), and received his Ph.D. from USTC in 1988. He worked as a post-doctor for the Beijing Spectrometer (BES) at Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) in the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) from 1988 to 1990. From 1990 to 1997, he was a post-doctor and research associate at Institute for Particle Physics (IPP) of Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ). He was recruited to IHEP of CAS as the first “CAS 100 Talent Program” member of IHEP in 1997, and led the BES Collaboration and the Physics Division of IHEP of CAS. He joined Physics Department of University of Michigan as a visiting professor and senior research scientist (UM) for the ATLAS experiment from 2001 to 2008. He was recruited to USTC as “National Thousand Talent Program” in 2008 and is chair professor of the Modern Physics Department of USTC, director of the Center for Particle Science and Technology of USTC, director of Cooperative Innovation Center for Particle and Interaction that consists of nine universities and two institutes of CAS. He continues doing the research at ATLAS and BESIII experiments. He was BESIII co-spokesperson from 209 to 2013. Because of his outstanding leadership at BES Experiment, particularly in the measurement of the hadron production cross section of the electron positron annihilation, and the important contribution to the detector construction and physics analysis of the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva of Switzerland, he was elected to be fellow of American Physics Society in 2012 and academician of the CAS in 2013, and the chair of the High Energy Physics Association of China in 2014. He won the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholar in 1998, CAS President Outstanding Young Scientist Award in 2001, and Chinese National Natural Science Award in 2005.
Professor Zhengguo Zhao is a well-known physicist who has recognized experience and contribution to the experimental particle physics, including leading large-scale international collaboration in the development, construction and operation of particle detectors, as well as physics analysis.
When working at ETHZ, he and his collaborators built a high energy resolution bending crystal spectrometer, with which they precisely measured the strong interaction shift of the pionic hydrogen and deuterium, and for the first time observed the corresponding energy broadening of the ground states of the pionic hydrogen and pionic deuterium. These results are still the most precise experimental data for the determination of S wave scattering length of pion and nuclear scattering, which are important physics quantities for the development and test of Chiral perturbation theory.
As the BES spokesperson and the header of the Physics Division of IHEP from 1997 to 2001, he successfully led the BES collaboration to make great progress on the study of the physics with charm quarks and tau leptons. His particular contribution to the BES experiment is the precision measurement of the hadron production cross-section of the electron and positron annihilation in the energies between 2 and 5 GeV. This measurement clarified the inconsistent results from different experiments and improved the accuracy about a factor of three. The results played an important role for the indirect search for Higgs particles at the Large Electron Positron Collider (LEP) at CERN, namely the measurement of the Higgs mass from the Standard Model fit to the available electroweak data, and precision determination of the QED running coupling constant and the interpretation of the results of anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. The result was regarded as one of the most important contribution to the high-energy physics during the years from 2000 to when shifting LEP experiments to LHC experiments, and has been collected by Particle Data Book and quoted by some text book for high energy physics.
Since 2001 to present, professor Zhao has been working on the ATLAS experiment at LHC. He played an important role to the construction and commissioning of the ATLAS monitored drift tube (MDT) of the muon spectrometer, and made direct contribution to the physics with diboson production and the discovery of the Higgs particle, together with his students and collaborators.
