Pinjing Cheng's work centers on nuclear physics experiments using neutron beams, particularly measuring how neutrons interact with various materials (like uranium, bismuth, lead, chromium, and aluminum) at the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) Back-n facility. This involves designing and using detectors (scintillators, spectrometers) to measure neutron cross sections, which are fundamental data used in nuclear reactor design and fusion energy research. Some publications also touch on related applied topics like radiation effects on materials (tungsten) and medical radiation therapy techniques.
