HIRFL has been upgraded for basic research on nuclear
physics, atomic physics, irradiative material and biology from beginning of this decade. So far,
the main performances of HIRFL have improved in the beam species from light ion to uranium and
the maximum beam intensities reaching similar to 10 mu A from SFC, 1.5 mu A from SSC. Therefore,
some experiments have been performed during this period, especially, on new isotope synthesis and
unstable nuclear physics. The new upgrading project Cooling Storage Ring (CSR) is under
commissioning by similar to 2p mu A carbon beam stripping injection. About 10(9) C ion have
stored inside CSRm, and part of them have been cooling down by the electron cooler. The
acceleration of CSRm also has been test successful. Some future experiment are under
development.
