Abstract China boasts one of the largest scientific forces in the world, but most research institutes focus on a specialized subject of research—which many say are insufficient to meet the country's complex development needs. As part of the reform of scientific institutions and the implementation of innovation-driven development strategies, the Chinese government plans to build several comprehensive national laboratories that it hopes will further boost its scientific research prowess and to support large-scale projects. To rev up their construction and management, 12 of the world's top national-laboratory experts were invited to share their experiences and insights at the International Seminar on National Laboratory Management, which was held in Beijing on 2 February 2016. In a forum chaired by Tieniu Tan, Vice President of Chinese Academy of Sciences, a panel of four scientists discussed with a packed audience why multi-purpose national laboratories are important, how to manage them effectively, and what the main challenges are.

The ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) experiment at CERN will upgrade its Inner Tracking System (ITS) detector. The new ITS will consist of seven coaxial cylindrical layers of ALPIDE silicon sensors which are based on Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor (MAPS) technology. We have studied the radiation hardness of ALPIDE sensors using a 30 MeV proton beam provided by the cyclotron U-120M of the Nuclear Physics Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Řež. In this paper, these long-term measurements will be described. After being irradiated up to the total ionization dose 2.7 Mrad and non-ionizing energy loss 2.7 × 10 13 1 MeV n eq · cm - 2 , ALPIDE sensors fulfill ITS upgrade project technical design requirements in terms of detection efficiency and fake-hit rate.

We present a review of the recent theoretical and experimental developments related to the field of diffraction, parton saturation, and forward physics. We first discuss our present understanding of the proton structure in terms of quarks and gluons, the degrees of freedom of quantum chromodynamics. We then focus on some of the main results on diffraction at the HERA electron–proton collider in DESY, Germany, at the Tevatron proton–antiproton collider at Fermilab, Batavia, US, and at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) proton–proton and nucleus–nucleus collider, which is located in Geneva, Switzerland. We also present a selected amount of results on diffraction and photon exchanges that can be done at the LHC experiments and at a future Electron Ion Collider (EIC) to be built in the US at Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York.

Two nuclear reactions of astrophysical interest, 26Mg(3He,d)27Al and 26Mg(d,p)27Mg, were measured for extraction of the Asymptotic Normalization Coefficients. Investigation of the target composition is presented, as well as the effects that showed up during analysis of the in-beam data obtained on CANAM accelerators in the Nuclear Physics Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences (NPI CAS).

Ground Acceleration

When a nuclear power plant (NPP) structure is subjected to beyond-design-basis seismic motions, a localized nonlinear effect on the soil-structure system is attributed to separations between the structure and the surrounding soils such as basemat uplift. Experiments involving field tests for real seismic events are usually difficult because of the low probability for large earthquakes at any particular site. To this end, the magnitudes of blast-induced ground motions at a coal mine have been found to be predicatable and can reach very large values. An approach has been developed to investigate whether the strong ground motions recorded at this coal mine can be used to evaluate the basemat uplift effect. This approach involves the use of a scaled ground motion to establish the relationship between the basemat uplift and the peak ground acceleration (PGA). This paper summarizes the field measurements for the ground motions at a coal mine by the Japan Nuclear Safety Organization (JNES) and a method using large scale finite element analyses for basemat uplift assessment performed by Brookhaven National Laboratory for the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
