This program relates to the studies onthe properties, structures, interactions and motion laws of particles (baryons, mesons, leptons, gauge particles and quarks, etc.) and atomic nuclei, and explores the more basic structure of the physical world and laws of matter motion. Fundamentally speaking, the study of particle physics and nuclear physics is the forefront of the nowadays physics research, which involves the laws from the microscopic field to the formation and evolution of celestial bodies. Researching on the nuclear physics has led to the widespread utilization of nuclear energy. The experimental research on the particle physics and nuclear physics calls for complex instrumentswhich are extremely precise as well as advanced experimental technology,such demand is one of the driving forces for the development of novel and high technology.

In recent years, due to the establishment of various large accelerators, the emergence of diverse new detection techniques, as well as the development of gauge theory (including quantum chromodynamics and the unified theory of weak electricity), people have studied particle-nucleus interaction, new nuclear states, quark-gluon system, high energy collision formation etc.from a new point of view. With the in-depth understanding of these challenging problems, our understanding of the deeper structure and the law of the mattermovementwill be further deepened.

Doctoral graduates should have a solid and broad theoretical foundation in quantum field theory, particle physics, nuclear physics and modern mathematics. They should be able to comprehend the nowadays research status and the future developing direction of particle physics and nuclear physics, as well as tocarry out creative experimental or theoretical research work on some important cutting-edge topics. In the aspect of experimental research, they should master particle physics and nuclear physics experiment technology,graspthe method of acquiring data online and analyzing data offline, and be skilled in utilizing computer to carry out theoretical research.At least one foreign language should be mastered by the graduates, it means they are able to read foreign language materials of this specialty and have certain speaking and writing ability for international academic communication.The spirit of pioneering, rigorous and realistic scientific attitude will also be cultivated in their brain. The doctoral graduateswould be qualified for teaching, scientific research and management positionsin universities, research institutes and high-tech enterprises.

Radiochemistry is a branch of chemistry that studies radioactive substances and problems related to nuclei transformation. Radiochemistry and nuclear physics are interrelated and correlated, they are twins of nuclear science and technology. The basic task of radiochemistry is to study the chemical properties of radioactive elements and their decay products. The discovery of artificial radioactivity and nuclear fission, the establishment of nuclear reactors and high-energy accelerators have had a far-reaching influence on the development of radiochemistry, meanwhile,the research contents of radiochemistry have been enriched and developed. With the development of nuclear weapons, nuclear power plants, nuclear warships and other nuclear power devices, great progress has been made in the production of nuclear fuel, the reprocessing of spent fuel, the separation of fission products and so on.All the practices have promoted the in-depth study of the nature of radionuclides and theirapplications in fields of industry, agriculture, scientific research, medicine and healthetc.

Modern radiochemistry mainly studies the chemical properties and nuclear properties of natural/artificial radioactive elements, their extraction, preparation and purification processesare also related, of which the nuclear fuel elements such as uranium, plutonium, thorium, trans-uranium and fragment elements are mainly focused.Radiochemistry also concerns about the applications of theseatomic nucleiproperties, structure, nuclear reactions and nuclear decay. On the one hand,the separation and analysis of radioactive materials and the application of nuclear technology in analytical chemistryis a major research area, on the other hand, the preparation of radionuclides and their labeled compounds and radiation sources, their applications in national defense, industry and agriculture, scientific research, medicine and other fields are also researchedsystematically.

Doctoral graduates should have a high level of knowledge and skills in chemistry and nuclear physics, and systematically master the professional knowledge, theory and research methods of radiochemistry.They should be able to comprehend the nowadays research status and the future developing direction of radiochemistry, as well as to carry out creative experimental or theoretical research work on some important cutting-edge topics.In the aspect of experimental research, they should master chemical and radiochemical experiment technology, the method of acquiring data online and analyzing data offline, and be skilled in utilizing computer to carry out theoretical research.At least one foreign language should be mastered by the graduates, it means they are able to read foreign language materials of this specialty and have certain speaking and writing ability for international academic communication.The spirit of pioneering, rigorous and realistic scientific attitude will also be cultivated in their brain.
