Prof. Xiaolong Wang: This virtual reality model of the Belle II experiment at the KEK laboratory in Japan shows the marvels of the subatomic world, where matter and antimatter collide at nearly the speed of light, converting energy to matter and back again according to Einstein’s famous formula E = mc2, all in the blink of an eye. Watch and control the simulation of each collision event in which an electron and its antimatter counterpart collide and morph into other forms of subatomic matter that move through the Belle II apparatus.
Biography
Prof. Xiaolong Wang: Dr. Xiaolong Wang, professor in Fudan University since 2017, EB member and China group liaison in the Belle II international collaboration. He earned his PhD from IHEP, then did his postdoc in IHEP(2010-2012), Virginia Tech(2012-2016) and then joined the KEK as a research fellow(2016-2017). His research is focusing on data analysis and hardware development in the Belle and Belle II experiments. He discovered the new exotic particles Y(4660) and Zc(4050)+, which have been confirmed by BaBar and BESIII. During the Belle II construction phase, he leaded the design, construction, testing, installation and commissioning work on the new scintillator-and-MPPC-based muon detector (KLM), and got involved in the 30ps time-base-calibration of the imaging-Time-Of-Propagation (iTOP) detector.
