Xiaohui Liu Group
The group is led by Xiaohui Liu, who currently holds the position of Professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy at Beijing Normal University. Previously, Liu was a T.D. Lee Fellow at the Center for High Energy Physics at Peking University. Our research focuses mainly on particle physics and high-energy nuclear physics, with an emphasis on applying the fundamental principles of Quantum Chromodynamics to predict collider phenomenologies.

Mar. Xiaohui is invited to the Hadronic Interaction Workshop hosted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The workshop aimed to explore the potential applications of small-x physics in high-energy cosmic ray experiments at LHAASO. It is interesting to note that what the LHAASO experiment measures, the so-called energy flow, is nothing but the nucleon energy correlator we proposed to understand the nucleon/nucleus internal structures.
