日前，中国科学院高能物理研究所副所长、中国科学院高能物理研究所东莞分部主任陈延伟到访科技创新研究院，校党委副书记、校长马宏伟，副校长李文芳等陪同参观了先进探测器实验室并就双方进一步加强合作、加强多物理谱仪运行管理等方面进行了深入交流。高能物理研究所东莞分部副主任梁天骄，中子科学部副主任殷雯、孙志嘉，我校科技处处长范洪波、科创院院长周梓荣、副院长夏能礼、魏亚东等参加了交流。
A few days ago, Chen Yanwei, Deputy Director of the Institute of High Energy Physics Chinese Academy of Sciences (IHEP) and Director of Dongguan Branch of IHEP visited the Institute of Science and Technology Innovation, along with Ma Hongwei, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of DGUT and President of the University, and Li Wenfang, Vice President of the University. They visited the advanced detector laboratory and had in-depth discussions on further strengthening cooperation and the operation and management of the multi-physics spectrometer. Among those who participated in this exchange were Liang Tianjiao, Deputy Director of Dongguan Branch of IHEP, Yin Wen and Sun Zhijia, deputy directors of Neutron Science Department, Fan Hongbo, Director of the Science and Technology Department of DGUT, Zhou Zirong, Dean of the Institute of Science and Technology Innovation, and Xia Nengli and Wei Yazong, deputy directors.
陈延伟一行先后参观了实验室自主设计研发的波移光纤加工、打磨和对位一体机和闪烁体高精度自动化气动成型机等中子探测器工程化专用自动化设备，并详细了解工作原理和制作效果，高度肯定了实验室取得的成绩，称赞实验室将中子探测器研制从“手工作坊式”的生产方式变成了“工业化”的高效率高精度流程制造，极大提高了探测器研发速度，提高了产品性能的一致性，降低了关键高价值材料的损耗，实验室已经具备了中子探测器批量化制造的初步能力，参与研发的师生得到了培养锻炼，兼顾了人才培养与科学研究工作。
Chen Yanwei and his team visited the laboratory and reviewed the special automation equipment for neutron detector engineering, such as wave-shift fiber processing, grinding and alignment integrated machine, and high-precision scintillator automatic pneumatic molding machine, independently designed and developed by the laboratory, and gained a detailed understanding of the working principle and production effect. He highly appreciated the achievements made by the laboratory. The laboratory was praised for changing neutron detector development from “manual workshop” production mode to “industrialized” high-efficiency and high-precision process manufacturing, which has greatly improved the speed of detector research and development, improved the consistency of product performance, and reduced the loss of key high-value materials. The laboratory possesses the preliminary capability of neutron detector batch manufacturing. The teachers and students involved in the research and development have received excellent training, keeping in mind personnel training and scientific research.
随后，陈延伟与马宏伟等进行了深入交流，双方高度认可近年来的合作成效，表示将就学校进一步对接大科学装置、多物理谱仪运行管理和共同申报科技奖励、共同承担重大科研项目、携手推进科技成果产业化落地等方面进一步加强合作，建立相应的协调机制，充分发挥大科学装置的优势，更好地支撑松山湖科学城和学校学科建设，为东莞市“先进制造+科技创新”发展战略贡献更大力量。
After the visit, Chen Yanwei and Ma Hongwei held a detailed discussion. They acknowledged the achievements of cooperation in recent years and agreed to further strengthen cooperation and establish a corresponding coordination mechanism in aspects such as DGUT’s further access to large scientific installations, operation and management of multi-physics spectrometers, joint application of science and technology awards, joint undertaking of major scientific research projects, and joint promotion of the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements. This has been done with the aim to give full play to the advantages of large scientific installations, better support Songshan Lake Science Town and DGUT’s discipline development, and contribute better to Dongguan’s development strategy of “advanced manufacturing + scientific and technological innovation.”
“先进探测器工程技术实验室”是依托东莞理工学院科技创新研究院机器人与智能装备创新中心成立的先进传感技术与关键器件研发平台，致力于散裂中子源和南方光源等国家大科学装置核心装备的工程化研发，打破关键设备依赖进口的局面，并探索在民用领域的产业化应用。经过双方联合研发团队3年多的努力，先后建成了“探测器结构与工艺”“电子学与信号处理”“关键性能检测”等功能实验室；完成了闪烁体中子探测器结构与性能的三次迭代升级，使其探测精度和效率达到国际同类产品先进水平；研发了关键部件的高精度制造技术和自动化制造设备，大大提高了波移光纤的成型效率和稳定性，从而进一步提高了闪烁体探测器的均匀性。针对中国散裂中子源-工程材料应力谱仪对于探测器的需求，完成了探测器单元模块的制作、装配调试与性能测试工作，预期在2022年下半年正式投入使用，实现这类探测器在中子谱仪上首次工程化应用。
The “Advanced Detector Engineering Technology Laboratory” is a research and development platform for advanced sensor technology and key devices and leverages the Robot and Intelligent Equipment Innovation Center of the Institute of Science & Technology Innovation, DGUT. It is committed to the engineering research and development of core equipment of large national scientific devices such as China Spallation Neutron Source and Southern Advanced Photosource, breaking the dependence on import of key equipment, and exploring industrial application in civil fields. After more than 3 years of efforts by the joint R&D team, functional laboratories such as “Detector Structure and Technology,” “Electronics and Signal Processing,” and “Critical Performance Testing” have been built successively. The structure and performance of the scintillator neutron detector have been upgraded thrice, enhancing its detection accuracy and efficiency to internationally advanced levels. High-precision manufacturing technology and automatic manufacturing equipment for key components have been developed, which has greatly improved the molding efficiency and stability of wave-shifted fiber, further improving the stability of the scintillator detector. According to the requirements of China Spallation Neutron Source on engineering material stress spectrometer for the detector, the fabrication, assembly, debugging, and performance testing of the detector unit module have been completed. It is expected to be implemented in the second half of 2022, which will make it the first engineering application for this kind of neutron spectrometer detector.
