| Experts from Kurchatov Institute of Russia Visited the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) of USTC |
From 1994 to 1998 Prof. Keylin, Deputy Director of Kurchatov Institute of Russia & Director of Low Temperature Laboratory, Prof. Dudarev and the technicians of the NSRL collaboratively invented the 6 T Gauss Superconducting Wiggler Magnet, which was the first device used on the accelerator in China to conduct scientific research. This project won the 2000 Second Class CAS Scientific Progress Award. In April, 2002, the two experts visited China again with the aid of the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs and the Bureau of International Cooperation Affairs of the CAS to receive an Honorary Certificate issued by Mr. Bai Chunli, academician and Vice-president of the CAS, on behalf of Mr. Lu Yongxiang, President of the CAS. From April 4th to 6th, the two professors visited the NSRL and helped to work out some technical problems. Vice-President Hou Jianguo met and entertained the Russian guests on the evening of April 4th.
In the NSRL, Prof. Keylin and Prof. Dudarev made two presentations entitled "SC Activity at Kurchatov Institute" and "Status of the ATLAS Toroial Magnet System" to introduce the current situation of Kurchatov Institute and the European Organization for Nuclear Research where Prof. Dudarev now is working. They had a discussion with the technicians of the NSRL after the presentations and expressed their satisfaction with the good working condition of the Superconducting Wiggler Magnet in the NSRL. The guests answered some questions raised by the technicians and proposed several solutions to the problems of the 30-day working limitation of the liquid helium liquid level indicator and the insufficient flow volume of the liquid helium. Prof. Dudarev delivered a special lecture to the staff in charge of Superconducting Wiggler Magnet and wrote down the specific operation procedure to help solve some of the possible problems. The visit of the Russian experts will contribute to the stable operation of the Superconducting Wiggler Magnet.
During their stay, the two Russian professors visited the Institute of Plasma Physics of the CAS. In the short three days of their visit, the NSRL was full of a friendly atmosphere. On April 7th, the two Russian professors left for Xi'an. In the farewell banquet, the experts from Russia and China sent each other their best wishes and hoped that the Sino-Russian cooperation in science and technology will be further expended. | |
