Abstract:
In nuclear science and technology research, especially in the field of thermonuclear fusion science research such as inertial confinement fusion and magnetic confinement fusion, which are of great national demand, a large number of non-fully ionised plasmas are involved. In order to accurately understand and simulate the radiation properties of such plasmas, an in-depth understanding and accurate description of the fundamental atomic processes under extreme conditions is required, such as the electron-ion collision process, the ion's optical resonance absorption processes, etc. These atomic processes are often in the strong Coulomb fields of high-Z elemental nuclei, where relativistic and quantum electrodynamic effects will have important implications. In addition, in the field of radiation physics and medical physics research, a wealth of charged particles are involved in the interaction processes with matter at the atomic-molecular scale, which directly affects the knowledge and understanding of the microscopic mechanisms of radiation damage and radiation therapy. The study of atomic-molecular collision dynamics using charged particles provided by accelerators has become an important research tool and direction, which has received wide attention from international and domestic research institutions. This report will present the research progress of the group in the above research areas.
Introduction:
Zhimin Hu, Ph.D., Research Fellow, Ph.D. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Electronic Science and Technology in 2002, his M.S. degree from Sichuan University in 2008, his Ph.D. degree from Tokyo University of Electro-Communication in 2012, and was a postdoctoral research assistant at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, from 2013 to 2015.
He worked at the Laser Fusion Research Centre of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP) as an associate researcher and leader of the implementation team, and was introduced to the Institute of Atomic Nuclear Science and Technology of Sichuan University in January 2021, where he was in charge of the Atomic Molecular Collision and Spectroscopy Research Group, and led the establishment of the Cold Target Recoil Ion Momentum Spectrometer (COLTRIMS) based Atomic Molecular Collision at the Sichuan University Tandem Accelerator. The research platform is based on COLTRIMS.
He is currently engaged in accelerator-based research on atom-molecule collisions and spectroscopy. He is in charge of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Innovation and Development Fund of the Chinese Academy of Physical Sciences. He has been awarded the second prize of Science and Technology Progress at ministerial level. He has published more than 10 papers in Phys. Rev. Lett. and Phys. Rev. A as the first author or corresponding author, and has given invited presentations in many international and domestic academic conferences. He is a reviewer of Phys. Rev. Lett. and other journals.
