The Institute of High Energy Physics is China’s principal laboratory for the study of particle physics. The Beijing campus hosts the Beijing Electron–Positron Collider, the BESIII experiment and the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility. IHEP also runs a sister campus in Guangdong province that will be home to the China Spallation Neutron Source facility, and experimental sites at Yangbajing, Daocheng, Jiangmen and Daya Bay, where world-leading neutrino-oscillation measurements are performed.
