Character experience

In October 1931, Tang Xiaowei was born in a scholarly family in qianxixi, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province. His ancestral home is Taicang, Jiangsu Province. His grandfather, Tang Wenzhi, was the first teacher in his youth. In November 1937, Shanghai fell to the Japanese occupation. At the age of 6, Tang Xiaowei fled to Guilin with his grandfather, mother and two younger sisters. One year later, he moved to the French concession in Shanghai. In 1939, Tang Xiaowei entered Shanghai Nanyang Model primary school, completed the primary school on scholarship, and went directly to Nanyang Model middle school. In middle school, influenced by the student movement, Tang Xiaowei took part in the reading meeting organized by progressive students. In February 1949, Tang Xiaowei joined the Communist Party of China. In the autumn of the same year, Tang Xiaowei graduated from Shanghai Nanyang Model middle school and was admitted to the Physics Department of Tsinghua University in Beijing as the first university student of the people's Republic of China. In September 1952, after graduating from the Physics Department of Tsinghua University, Tang Xiaowei was assigned to work in the nuclear detector group of the Institute of modern physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Under the guidance of physicist Professor Dai chuanzeng, Tang Xiaowei did his own work in the design, manufacture, installation and debugging of the instrument. In the winter of 1953, Tang Xiaowei followed the Institute to move from the original site of donghuangchenggen in Beijing to the new site of Zhongguancun. In 1956, Tang Xiaowei successfully developed an international level gas ionization detector and won the third prize of National Natural Science Award. From 1956 to 1959, Tang Xiaowei worked in the Dubna United nuclear Institute of the Soviet Union. He has cooperated with ipoko-uikh and others in the experiment of electromagnetic cascade shower by using single energy electron beam, and studied the reaction of proton absorbing meson by using slow negative = meson beam. Since 1960, Tang Xiaowei has participated in the development of China's atomic and hydrogen bombs, leading a research laboratory at the nuclear base to carry out research on key components. In 1973, Tang Xiaowei was transferred to the Institute of high energy physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 1975, Tang Xiaowei led an experimental group to participate in the mission of China's artificial earth satellite. In January 1978, Tang Xiaowei led the Chinese experimental research group to conduct high-energy physics experiments at the electron synchrotron center in Hamburg, Germany, and participated in the markejer collaboration led by Professor Ding Zhaozhong to conduct high-energy electron positron collision experiments. In 1979, Tang Xiaowei's research group found gluons, the basic particles that transfer strong forces. In 1980, Tang Xiaowei was elected member of the Department of mathematics and physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. since 1981, Tang Xiaowei has led the experimental group in the University of science and technology of China to carry out r-ray coherent and incoherent scattering research. Since 1982, Tang Xiaowei has led an experimental group in the University of science and technology of China to systematically study the three photon annihilation process of positron and positron. In 1984, Tang Xiaowei proposed to determine the mass of electron neutrinos by measuring tritium decay beta spectrum with an electrostatic integrating spectrometer. He and sun Hancheng, a researcher of Fengzi Energy Research Institute of the Ministry of nuclear industry, guided the graduate students to complete the theoretical design and model test of an electrostatic integrating spectrometer. In November 1994, the State Science and Technology Commission approved the project of "basic research on advanced technologies in nuclear medicine and radiotherapy" to be included in the national climbing plan, and invited Tang Xiaowei as the chief scientist of the project. In 2000, Tang Xiaowei promoted and organized the work of China's human brain project and neuroinformatics, and participated in the global human brain project research on behalf of China in October 2001. Since 2001, Tang Xiaowei has been a professor in the Department of physics, School of science, Zhejiang University. In April 2001, Tang Xiaowei established an interdisciplinary laboratory in Zhejiang University to carry out interdisciplinary research in such frontier fields as functional brain imaging and neuroinformatics. In September 2001, Tang Xiaowei organized the 168th Xiangshan scientific conference with the theme of human brain project and neuroinformatics, and served as the executive chairman of the conference. Since 2002, he has set up an interdisciplinary laboratory in Zhejiang University, presided over the project of "brain and cognitive science and its application", and participated in the construction of "language and cognition" national innovation base. In 2004, Zhejiang University launched the "985" interdisciplinary research project "language and cognition". Professor Tang participated in the project and served as the director of the academic committee of the center for language and cognition.

Achievements in scientific research

In the 1960s, Tang Xiaowei participated in the research and test of China's atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb, and made contributions to neutron ignition experiment and physical diagnosis of nuclear test. In the mid-1970s, the measurement of radiation dose in Chinese satellite cabin was carried out. In the late 1970s, he led the Chinese experimental group to the electron synchrotron center in Hamburg, Germany, to conduct high energy experiments, and the international cooperation group of markejet, who participated in the experiment, discovered gluons. In the early 1980s, he led the experimental group of Institute of high energy physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences to participate in L3 experiment, AMS experiment and other international scientific and technological cooperation, and made contributions to the experimental confirmation of the existence of three generations of neutrinos in nature and the experimental determination of the properties of intermediate bosons.

His spirit of continuous exploration and innovation and interdisciplinary research ability will certainly stimulate the construction and development of related disciplines and promote the cultivation of interdisciplinary talents. (comments by Mei Xinlin, Professor of Zhejiang Normal University) Tang Xiaowei actively explored many research fields in China, including medical physics, brain functional imaging, neuroinformatics, neuropedagogy, etc. He promoted the integration of Arts and science, and established the theory of general integration. (review of Zhejiang University) Tang Xiaowei has been working for more than 30 years. He has been striving for the first line of basic research and national defense research, and has made remarkable achievements and important contributions. (comments by Tong Guoliang, researcher of Institute of high energy physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences) it is confirmed that Tang Xiaowei participated in the research and test of China's atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb and made contributions to neutron ignition experiment and physical diagnosis of nuclear test
