Nuclear and Particle Group
Our group is composed of five faculty members from Suranaree University of Technology (SUT), THAILAND,
Prof. Yupeng Yan
Asst. Prof. Dr. Chinorat Kobdaj
Dr. Khanchai Khosonthongkee
Asst. Prof. Dr. Ayut Limphirat
Dr. Warintorn Sreethawong
with 2 postdoctors
Dr. Christoph Herold and Dr. Daris Samart
1 research assistant, 10 Ph.D. , 7 M.Sc. and 5 undergraduate students.
Our main research topics are:
1. quark models applied to hadron decays, baryon form factors, nucleon-antinucleon annihilation, and processes of electron-positron to hadron pairs.
2. hypernuclei production in heavy-ion collisions, especially antiproton and heavy-ion collisions at high energies.
3. coupled-channel approaches applied to processes involving charmed mesons and baryons.
We have some international collaborators like Tuebingen University, Frankfurt University, GSI, IHEP in Beijing and others.
Over the past ten years we have kept two research groups: quark models and heavy-ion collisions. Recently we decide to merge these two groups to one, that is, apply high energy heavy-ion collisions to study key issues in QCD like confinement and chiral-symmetry restoration.
Now we have set up the experimental particle physics group at SUT. At beginning we have started by doing simulation work and now
expanded into the area of sensor development and testing by working together with Thai Microelectronics Center (TMEC) and Synchrotron Light Research Institute
(SLRI). Currently, we have participated in ALICE, PANDA, JUNO and PANDAX. The
group has financial support from National Science and Technology Development
Agency (NSTDA) and Suranaree University of Technology.
