Yalin Lu

Director of National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory of China (NSRL)

Professor Lu is an expert in the physics of matter, where he connects the engineering of new materials with the research of their physical properties in an interdisciplinary manner. As the director of the National Synchrotron Radiation Institute, he recognized the technical excellence of the products of the Slovenian company KYMA Tehnologije. He advised the purchase of this company’s ondulator for use in the NSRL.

Recently, the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory has engaged in developing a new HALS (Hefei Advanced Light Source) synchrotron, which will be a fourth-generation synchrotron with extremely low emissions. In this project, precise control of the accelerator and especially the electron beam is essential. In this field of research and development, Yalin Lu has been collaborating with the Slovenian company Cosylab. Lu has visited Slovenia many times in connection with the HALS project and agreed on the next development steps with KYMA Tehnologije and Cosylab. In the following years, HALS will probably be considered the most extensive scientific infrastructure project in China, with a visible Slovenian contribution
