想吃馒头,先种麦子——谢家麟的实验物理学之路

To eat bread,plant the seeds first:The development of Xie Jialin’s experimental physics

谢家麟是我国著名物理学家,诺贝尔奖获得者李政道称他为“中国加速器物理之第一人”。谢家麟一直将自己称作是实验工作者,是“做加速管的人”,他的一生是与我国高能物理和加速器事业紧密联系在一起的。本文从谢家麟作为实验物理学家的学术习惯切入,分析了谢家麟学术生涯中的重要影响因素、关键事件和创新方法等,挖掘其思想对当今科学发展的现实价值和意义。

Xie Jialin is a famous Chinese physicist,and the Nobel Prize winner Li Zhengdao named him as the first person in Chinese accelerator physics.Xie insisted that he was an experimental physicist,working on the accelerating tubes.His life is closely linked with the Chinese high energy physics and the accelerator physics.This essay analyzes the important influence factors,key events,and innovative approaches in Xie’s academic life by using his academic habits as an experimental physicist,and tries to find out the realistic value and meaning of his spirit in modern science development.
