Exhibit Summary
Hefei Light Source is a Interactive interactive exhibit in the Smart Technology category, designed for science centers, children’s museums, discovery centers, STEM learning centers and family entertainment centers. Built as a hands-on, mechanical & electromechanical display, it turns an abstract scientific concept into direct, interactive visitor exploration, and is engineered for durable, low-maintenance, high-traffic gallery use.
Scientific Principle
Let the audience grasp Anhui's outstanding contributions in the field of large science devices: gain an in-depth understanding of the Hefei Advanced Light Source unit and grasp its background, principles, science significance and future applications.
Operation
(1) The concept and science significance of synchrotron radiation: Light is the most important tool for observing and studying nature, and synchrotron radiation is an excellent new light source with high intensity, high brightness, continuous spectrum, good directionality and polarization, pulse time structure and clean vacuum environment. It can be used in many basic and applied research fields. (2) The construction background, process and significance of the synchrotron radiation light source: In the late 1980s, my country’s first dedicated synchrotron radiation light source, the Hefei Light Source, was built here, emitting my country’s first “magic light” and illuminating the track of Chinese scientists’ pursuit of light. After the continuous efforts of several generations of scientists, the performance of Hefei Light Source has been maximized. Hefei will now build the fourth generation low-energy area light source to promote the transformation of "Hefei Light Source" into "Hefei Advanced Light Source". (3) Application of Hefei Light Source: So far, 11 beam lines and experimental stations have been built, and 11 science research projects such as infrared spectroscopy and microscopic imaging, mass spectrometry, metrology, and combustion are being carried out. Using the Hefei Light Source, my country completed the experimental calibration and testing of the lunar exploration satellite "Chang'e-1" solar wind ion detector for the first time; created a new way to efficiently convert coal with low water consumption; and obtained high-resolution microscopic images of a batch of biological samples such as cancerous cells for the first time. (44) Looking forward to the Hefei Advanced Light Source under construction: Since 2006, the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory of the University of Science and Technology of China has aimed its light source research towards the low-energy region of the diffraction limit. The goal is to build the fourth-generation low-energy region light source and promote the transformation of "Hefei Light Source" into "Hefei Advanced Light Source". The fourth-generation light source, the Hefei Advanced Light Source, has greatly improved in terms of brightness and coherence, raising the ability of X-rays to support research in various disciplines to an unprecedented level, allowing the microscopic world to be seen more clearly. The exhibition items use photoelectric models, electromechanical interaction, transparent touch screens and multimedia explanations. Let the audience have a preliminary understanding of the large science installation "Synchrotron Radiation Light Source" in Hefei and its significance, as well as the great achievements in the construction of Anhui's large science equipment group.
