Description
HIAF is one of the next generation heavy ion accelerators under construction in China. It is composed of a superconducting ion linear accelerator, a high-energy synchrotron booster, a high-energy radioactive isotope beam line, an experimental storage ring and multiple experimental setups. Characterized by unprecedented intense ion beams from hydrogen through uranium, HIAF can produce a large variety of exotic nuclear matters not normally found on the earth and will bring researchers to the forefront of promoting the most vigorous and fascinating fields in nuclear physics. During the construction of HIAF, extensive R&D efforts have achieved a major breakthrough in fast-cycle acceleration through innovative technological solutions. Currently, most components have completed production and fabrication. The civil engineering and infrastructure have been completed. The facility has entered the installation phase. The accelerator equipment installation is 95% complete. The integrated commissioning of the power supply and magnet systems is in progress. The vacuum of BRing and SRing has reached 10^-12mbar. The first beam has been delivered by the combination of SECR and RFQ in August 2024. The Day One experiment is expected to be made by the end of 2025. The details of the HIAF status and progress will be given in this report.
