Character experience

In April 1931, Lu Min was born into an intellectual family in Danyang County, Jiangsu Province. When he was young, when the Japanese imperialists launched a large-scale war of aggression against China, he fled with his family to Yunnan and Sichuan, and spent an unstable childhood in the rear area. In 1943, he entered the middle school affiliated to Jinling University. In 1947, he graduated from Nanjing Jinling middle school and was admitted to the Physics Department of Zhejiang University. In 1952, after graduating from Zhejiang University, he was assigned to the Institute of modern physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences to engage in experimental research on cosmic ray elementary particles. In 1957, he was admitted as a graduate student of Mr. Wang Ganchang. Because Wang Ganchang worked in the former Soviet Union Union Union, he was under the guidance of Mr. Zhang Wenyu. Later, Zhang Wenyu and LV min went to work in the former Soviet Union Union Union Union one after another, and the matter of graduate students was not settled. In 1959, he was sent by the organization to work in the Dubna Joint Nuclear Research Institute of the former Soviet Union. in 1962, after the former Soviet Union returned home, he was transferred to the national defense science and Technology Commission to participate in China's nuclear weapon test work. He worked in the nuclear test base of Xinjiang national defense science and Technology Commission, and successively served as deputy director of the research laboratory, deputy director of the science and Technology Department, deputy director of the Research Institute, and director of the base science and Technology Commission. In 1987, he was transferred back to Beijing and worked as a researcher in the System Engineering Research Institute of the science, technology and Industry Commission for national defense. He is engaged in the research of anti radiation reinforcement technology and arms control science and technology. in 1988, he was the leader of the professional group of anti radiation reinforcement technology. In 1991, he was elected member (academician) of the academic department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Main achievements

Achievements in scientific research

In the 1950s, under the guidance of Mr. Wang Ganchang, Zhang Wenyu and Xiao Jian, Lu Min used cosmic rays to study strange particles and high-energy nuclear interaction. He went to the "Luoxue" Alpine laboratory in the northeast mountainous area of Yunnan Province at an altitude of 3200 meters twice, and continued for about two years. He used multi plate cloud chamber to collect examples of high-energy nuclear interaction and strange particles. Tens of thousands of pairs of cloud and fog room photos were obtained and brought back to Beijing for interpretation and analysis. The research results have been published in Chinese science, Chinese Journal of physics and other journals. This research work was the only basic particle experiment that could be carried out in China at that time. Later, together with the work of other comrades, it won the third prize of National Natural Science Award in 1987. In 1959, Lu Min went to the United Institute of the former Soviet Union to carry out basic particle experiments in the high energy laboratory and the medium energy laboratory. Later, he went to the neutron laboratory to do experimental research on pulse reactor. He measured the statistical fluctuation of pulse power in pulse reactor and studied the relationship between them and power. In 1961, when the Sino Soviet relations broke down, the former Soviet government suddenly withdrew all the experts in China and suspended the agreement to assist China in developing the atomic bomb. After hearing the message from the embassy, LV min, who worked in the former Soviet Union Union Union, together with several other comrades, expressed to the domestic leaders that they were willing to give up basic scientific research and return to China to participate in China's self reliant development of nuclear weapons. Their request was approved by the leader. From then on, his research direction shifted to defense science and technology and began to engage in military nuclear technology research. In 1962, Lv Min was transferred to the national defense science and Technology Commission to take part in the preparatory work of the nuclear test base research institute and began preparations for the first nuclear test. In the first nuclear test, he was specifically responsible for measuring the kinetic parameters of nuclear chain reaction. Lu Min proposed the physical scheme of measurement, and led a group of younger comrades who had just graduated from university to prepare the measurement and calibration equipment for reaction kinetics measurement without laboratory and equipment. With the help of many units, the preparation work was completed on time and the field test was successful, which provided the theoretical design department with the measured data of the first atomic bomb. Since then, the performance of instruments and equipment has been continuously improved, and a large number of important measured data of chain reaction kinetics have been provided in dozens of nuclear tests. With the development of China's nuclear weapons, more and more physical processes are involved in the explosion of nuclear devices, in which fusion nuclear reaction plays an important role, which requires more measured data in each nuclear test to check the reliability of theoretical design and calculation. At the same time, China's nuclear test has been carried out underground, and the nuclear test is facing new challenges. Under such conditions, LV Min has put forward a number of real-time physical diagnosis measurement projects and basic physical measurement schemes, and guided young comrades to realize them. These projects include the measurement of neutron energy spectrum by time of flight method to obtain the fusion reaction temperature; the measurement of the shape and size of the fusion reaction zone by pinhole photography; the measurement of high energy 7-ray fusion reaction by positron produced by electron pair reaction; the measurement of temperature parameters at different positions in space by optical fiber array, etc. In order to get more measured data for each shaft type underground nuclear test, Lu Min proposed the nuclear test scheme of steel frame combination of multiple measurement items, and promoted its realization, so that multiple physical measurements can be carried out smoothly in the shaft nuclear test at the same time, creating conditions for each nuclear weapon test to obtain abundant data. In 1986, Lu Min came to Beijing for treatment of a serious illness. After he recovered, he stayed in Beijing to work. He worked as a researcher in the System Engineering Research Institute of the science, technology and Industry Commission for national defense. He was mainly responsible for the research of anti radiation reinforcement technology for weapons and satellites. In addition to organizing and leading the work, he put forward suggestions on single event effect of electronic components, transient radiation effect of electronic circuits, X-ray dose effect of components, X-ray mechanical effect, etc Many research topics and approaches are suggested. While working in Beijing, LV min also participated in the scientific and technological research on arms control, wrote some papers on the theory, situation analysis and trend prediction of nuclear arms control, and exchanged reports at domestic and international conferences in China. We have done a lot of research on the verification technology of arms control, and put forward some useful views and suggestions on the verification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and satellite verification technology.
