The China Spallation Neutron Source, located in Songshan Lake Science City, Dongguan, Guangdong, is the first pulsed spallation neutron source in mainland China and the fourth in the world, and is known as a "super microscope" for studying the microstructure of matter. This "important instrument of the country" has a "scientific research group" of more than 500 people, and Yin Wen, deputy director of the Neutron Science Department of the Dongguan Research Department of the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is one of them.
Adhere to the road of localization of key technologies
As one of the first backbones to participate in the Spallation Neutron Source Project, Yin Wen has always been tireless in technical research, and insisted on taking the road of localization of key technologies. She has been working hard in the front line of scientific research and engineering construction for more than ten years, and has successively completed the construction of the first shield system design and equipment with a total investment of nearly 80 million yuan in China, and successfully independently developed the first large-scale high-precision machine-electrical-hydraulic-vacuum integrated equipment and other scientific research projects in China to control neutron beams, contributing to the construction of an innovative country.
Today, the localization rate of equipment of China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) exceeds 90%, which directly drives the overall progress of equipment manufacturing and other industries. It is worth mentioning that over the years, Yin Wen has led the team to independently develop irradiation-resistant pure water hydraulic cylinders, and achieved mass production in China, breaking through the technical bottleneck of the pure water hydraulic industry and driving the development of related industries. "We haven't had a single leak from 2018 until now." Yin Wen said proudly.
In terms of the construction of multi-physics spectrometer, she has realized the localization of the key component fine collimator, filling the gap in this field in China. At the same time, she also vigorously promoted the localization of the core component neutron catheter.
Lead the team to overcome scientific and technological challenges
From graduating from a university majoring in metal materials, obtaining a doctorate degree in theoretical physics, and now engaging in research in neutron physics and neutron scattering, Yin Wen has insisted on learning and made unimaginable efforts to delve into different fields. "All of us are in an era of lifelong learning, new situations and new problems are emerging one after another, and only by continuing to learn can we not fall behind." Yin Wen said.
In addition to being strict with herself to grasp every learning opportunity, Yin Wen often encourages the young members of the group to continue to learn and improve themselves, undertake projects independently, and set clear goals and formulate targeted training plans according to their professional expertise and research direction, so as to provide a platform and opportunities for their team to grow rapidly and lay a solid foundation for the long-term stable operation of CSNS.
With such a sense of responsibility and mission, Yin Wen not only led the team to achieve technological breakthroughs, but also built a team that can not only engage in scientific research, but also complete engineering construction. Under her guidance, 2 young people have successfully applied for the National Natural Science Foundation of China Youth Science Fund project, 1 young person has won the National Scholarship for Graduate Students, and 2 young people have won the "Young Eagle Award" of Dongguan Branch.
Yin Wen said: "From the perspective of mission, the state has invested a lot of money and must do a good job in scientific research. ”
Blooming the "She Power" in the Science and Technology World
As a member of the executive committee of the Dongguan Women's Federation, in addition to the heavy scientific research tasks, Yin Wen actively participated in the work of the Dongguan Women's Federation to prepare for the establishment of the Dongguan Women Science and Technology Workers Alliance, bravely took on the heavy responsibility of the president of the Dongguan Women Science and Technology Workers Alliance, mobilized the female science and technology workers in Songshan Lake Science and Technology Park to join the alliance, carefully prepared for the inaugural meeting, and invited relevant representatives of female science and technology workers in Dongguan universities, enterprises and scientific research institutions in Songshan Lake Park to participate. On May 26, 2022, the Dongguan Women Science and Technology Workers Alliance was officially established. In order to better bring science and technology into the public eye and promote science and technology to serve the society, she took the lead in setting up the Songshan Lake Science and Technology Women's Volunteer Service Team, which has more than 30 highly educated professional science popularization volunteers to carry out a series of popular science education activities of "Walking Songhu and Reading Science and Technology" in schools and communities. Up to now, more than 100 popular science activities have been carried out.
In May this year, Yin Wen promoted the China Spallation Neutron Source to hold a public science day activity, opening the underground tunnel and related work areas of the Spallation Neutron Source to the public, and the members of the science and technology women's volunteer service team played the role of "tour guides" to explain the popular science knowledge related to the spallation neutron source for the public in simple terms, attracting nearly 6,000 members of the public to get in close contact with the "national heavy weapon" and "super microscope".
At the same time, she also led the members of the alliance to carry out scientific and technological guidance in enterprises, create the "Science and Technology Innovation Women's Wisdom Gathering Songhu" industry-university-research docking brand activities, and regularly hold industry forums, industry-university-research docking, and visit enterprises, etc., which has built a good platform for scientific research achievements to go out of the laboratory and connect with Dongguan's strong manufacturing industry. Since its establishment, the alliance has successfully facilitated 10 pairs of industry-university-research docking cooperation.
The journey is long, only struggle, pay tribute to every struggler!
