Samuel Chao Chung Ting (Chinese: 丁肇中; pinyin: Dīng Zhàozhōng; Wade-Giles: Ting¹ Chao⁴-chung¹) (born January 27, 1936) is an American physicist who received the Nobel Prize in 1976 for the discovery of the subatomic J/ψ particle with Burton Richter. The Nobel Prize in Physics (Nobelpriset i fysik is awarded once a year by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

Biography
Ting's ancestry is Rizhao (日照縣), Shandong, on mainland China. Administration The Prefecture-level city of Rizhao administers four county-level divisions, including two districts and two counties ( is a coastal province of eastern People's Republic of China. Mainland China, Continental China, the Chinese mainland or simply the mainland, is a geopolitical term synonymous with the area that is under the jurisdiction His parents, Kuan-hai Ting (丁觀海) and Tsun-ying Jeanne Wang (王雋英), met as graduate students in Michigan and moved back to the warring China when Samuel Ting was an infant. China ( Wade-Giles ( Mandarin) Chung¹kuo² is a cultural region, an ancient Civilization, and depending on perspective a National As a result, Samuel Ting's formal childhood education had been discontinuous and sporadic, and was mostly home-schooled by his parents, who later on became professors of science and psychology, respectively, of the National Taiwan University in Taipei, Taiwan. Homeschooling (also called home education) home learning or homeschool – is the education of children at home typically by parents or professional Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning " Knowledge " or "knowing" is the effort to discover, and increase human understanding Psychology (from Greek grc ψῡχή psȳkhē, "breath life soul" and grc -λογία -logia) is an Academic and National Taiwan University ( abbreviation NTU) is a national co-educational university located in Taipei City Taiwan Taipei ( Taiwanese Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tâi-pak-chhī Jhuyin Fuhao: ㄊㄞˊ ㄅㄟˇ ㄕˋ Hakka: Thòi-pet-sṳ has been the capital of Taiwan ( Taiwanese: Tâi-oân/Tāi-oân (historically 大灣/台員/大員/台圓/大圓/台窩灣 is an Island in East Asia. His formal education began at twelve at the prestigious Provincial Chien-Kuo High School (建國中學, now Municipal Taipei Chien-Kuo Senior High School) in Taipei and studied one year in National Cheng Kung University, Tainan City after high school.

When Ting returned to the United States in his twenties, he studied engineering, mathematics and physics at the University of Michigan. Engineering is the Discipline and Profession of applying technical and scientific Knowledge and Mathematics is the body of Knowledge and Academic discipline that studies such concepts as Quantity, Structure, Space and Physics (Greek Physis - φύσις in everyday terms is the Science of Matter and its motion. The University of Michigan Ann Arbor ( U of M, U-M, UM or simply Michigan) is a top-ranked Coeducational public research In 1959, he was awarded BSEs in both mathematics and physics, and in 1962 he earned a Doctoral degree in physics. A doctorate is an Academic degree that indicates the highest level of academic achievement In 1963, he worked in the European Organization for Nuclear Research which would later become CERN. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (Organisation Européenne pour la Recherche Nucléaire known as CERN From 1965 he taught at Columbia University, and worked at the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) in Germany. Columbia University is a private University in the United States and a member of the Ivy League. The DESY ( D eutsches E lektronen Sy nchrotron "German Electron Synchrotron" is the biggest German research center for Particle physics Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant is a Country in Central Europe. Ting has been a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) since 1969.
He gave acceptance speech of his Nobel in Mandarin. Although there had been Chinese recipients before (Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen Ning Yang), none offered a speech in Chinese until he did. Tsung-Dao Lee ( TD Lee,) (born November 24, 1926) is a Chinese -born American Physicist, well known for his work Chen-Ning Franklin Yang ( (born October 1, 1922) is a Chinese -born American Physicist who worked on Statistical mechanics In his speech, he emphasized the importance of experimental work equalling that of theoretical work.
In 1995, not long after the cancelling of the Superconducting Super Collider project had severely reduced the possibilities for experimental high-energy physics on earth, Ting proposed the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, a space-borne cosmic ray detector. The Superconducting Super Collider ( SSC) would have been the world's largest and highest-energy Particle accelerator complex that was planned to be built mostly in The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS is a particle physics experiment that is to be mounted on the International Space Station designed to search for various types of unusual For the 1962 Bruce Conner film see Cosmic Ray (film Cosmic rays are energetic particles originating from space that impinge on He has since been directing the work on what the New York Times called "one of the most expensive scientific experiments ever built", with costs of US$1. 5 billion as of 2007.

Ting is a member of the National Academy of Science of USA, an academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences in China and an academician of Academia Sinica in Taiwan, ROC.

Ting married Kay Kuhne in 1960, and together have two daughters, Jeanne and Amy. He has been married to Dr. Susan Carol Marks since 1985 and they have one son, Christopher.
