1936年1月27日出生於美國，3個月後隨父母回到中國。 1956年到美國密西根大學，在物理系與數學系學習。 1960年獲碩士學位。 1962年獲博士學位，在瑞士歐洲核子中心工作一年。 1964年起在美國哥倫比亞大學工作。 1976年獲得諾貝爾物理獎。 Early background:　 Samuel C.C. Ting was born on 27 January 1936 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA., where his parents, Professor K.H. Ting and Professor Jeanne M.Wong Ting, were students at the University of Michigan. His family returned to China a few months later.　 Education　 Elementary and secondary education took place in China, during the 1936-1956 period. S.C.C. Ting excelled in mathematics, science and history. In 1956, he returned to the United States to attend the University of Michigan as an engineering student, but he soon transferred his major to physics.　 Higher Education　 1959: awarded BSE (in physics) and BSE (in mathematics) from the University of Michigan　 1962: awarded Ph.D. (in physics) from the University of Michigan.　 Academic and Research Position　 In 1963, S.C.C. Ting was granted a Ford Foundation Fellowship to work at the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva, Switzerland. He returned to the United States in 1964 to become an instructor at Columbia University in New York. In 1966, he became the leader of an experimental group at the Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron in Hamburg, Germany. In 1969, he was appointed Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in Cambridge, Massachusetts and in 1977 he was selected as the first recipient of the Thomas Dudley Cabot Institute Professorship at MIT.　 Major Awards　 Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1975　 Member of Academia Sinica, Republic of China in 1975　 Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award by the U.S. Government in 1976　 Nobel Prize in Physics awarded in 1976　 Member of the United States National Academy of Sciences in 1977　 Thomas Dudley Cabot Institute Professor, Massachusetts institute of Technology in 1977　 The Eringen Medal awarded by the Society of Engineering Science in 1977　 Foreign Member of the Pakistani Academy of Sciences in 1984　 DeGasperi Award in Science, by the Government of Italy in 1988　 Golden Lecpard Award for Excellence, by the town of Taormina, Italy, in 1988　 Gold Medal for science by the city of Brescia, Italy, 1988　 Foreign Member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences in 1989　 Foreign Member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, 1993　 Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1994　 Member Deutsche Akademie Der Naturforscher Leopoldina in 1996　 Doctor Honoris Causa　 University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, U.S.A., 1978　 Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 1987　 University of Jlatcng, Shanghal, China in 1987 (Honorary Professorship)　 University of Bologna, Italy, 1988　 Columbia University, New York, U.S.A., 1990　 University of Science and Technology, China, 1990　 Moscow State University , Moscow, 1991　 University of Bucharest, Romania, 1993　 Contribution to Physics:　 Samuel Ting's research has centered on experimental particle physics, quantum electrodynamics, and the interaction of photons with matter. His most important wok includes :　 Discovery of the anti-deuteron.　 A twenty-year series of experiments testing the validity of quantum electrodynamics and showing that electrons, muons, and tau mesons are pointlike particles with a radius smaller than 10-17 cm.　 Precision studis of leptonic decays of vector mesons, measuring the branching ratio and the production phase of these photon-like particles and providing an important check of the Ualidity of the quark model.　 A study of photoproduction of vector mesons demonstrating the similarity between photons and vector mesons.　 Discovery of the J particle.　 A systematic study of muon pair production at the CERN Intersecting Storage Ring to investigate the scaling behaviour and production mechanisms of heavy photons.　 Discovery of gluon jets.　 A systematic study of gluon physics at the Electron-Positron colliding beam accelerator PETRA.　 A precision measurement of muon charge asymmetry, demonstrating for the first time the validity of the Standard electroweak Model.　 Determination of the number of neutrino species and the precision measurement of the Z0 decay parameters at LEP, the 100 GeVe+e- collider beam accelerator　 Samuel C.C.
