许多实验对用CsI(Tl)闪烁晶体作为探测器来寻找和探测暗物质的可行性进行了研究。本工作利用8MeV单能中子轰击CsI(Tl)晶体探测器来研究Cs核和I核的Quenching Factor。在数据处理中,运用脉冲形状甄别(PSD)方法来分辨反冲核信号和本底信号。实验结果表明,在7keV到132keV的能区中,Quenching Factor随着反冲核能量的减少而增加。在探测暗物质的实验中,这一性质对于CsI(Tl)晶体探测器获得较低的能量阈值是很有利的。 相似文献

提出了一种基于CsI(Tl)闪烁晶体和面阵CCD器件、采用光纤和光纤面板进行光耦合及传输、以扇形束线阵扫描方式实现对X光高分辨探测的方案。CsI(Tl)晶体的尺寸大小将直接影响到晶体的发光效率及X光的高分辨探测,据此开展了蒙特卡罗模拟研究。模拟研究了X射线能量、X射线源到探测晶体的距离(源距)、CsI(Tl)晶体的厚度与X射线能量分布、全能峰效率与CsI(Tl)闪烁晶体转换效率之间的关系。结果表明,当X射线能量为120~450 keV,CsI(Tl)晶体尺寸厚度为0~1.5 cm变化时,全能峰效率的变化范围为31.34~96.74%,CsI(Tl)闪烁晶体的转换效率的变化范围为12.8~97.43%。可见,X射线的能量及CsI(Tl)闪烁晶体尺寸的厚度,是决定X光高分辨探测的重要参量,这对优化X光高分辨探测用CsI(Tl)晶体的尺寸设计具有一定的参考价值。 相似文献

CsI(Tl)闪烁体是X光转换为可见光比较重要的一个部件,在惯性约束聚变中的X光诊断等方面有着十分重要的应用。通过Geant4软件较为全面地分析了CsI(Tl)闪烁体软X光能量响应,模拟了1~5keV的软X光入射不同厚度(20,30,50μm)CsI(Tl)的能量沉积谱,探究了粒子之间相互作用的物理过程,并比较了不同能量软X光在不同厚度CsI(Tl)闪烁体中的沉积效率。仿真结果表明,随着CsI(Tl)闪烁体厚度的增加,软X光在CsI(Tl)闪烁体中沉积的能量也逐渐增加,沉积效率与CsI(Tl)闪烁体厚度成正比。模拟研究为选择合适厚度的闪烁体做低能段软X光探测实验做铺垫。 相似文献

在兰州重离子加速器冷却储存环(HIRFL-CSR)的外靶终端(ETF),设计建造了一套多层CsI(Tl)望远镜探测器,用于对轻质量带电粒子的鉴别。这套探测器由7层CsI(Tl)晶体组成,每一层晶体光输出信号由4个光电倍增管分别在晶体4角读出。由于CsI(Tl)晶体对于重离子的响应是非线性的,且与入射离子的种类有关,这些因素使得对这台探测器的能量刻度需要做专门的研究。利用RIBLL2提供的能量在200 s~300 MeV/u的次级束流对探测器进行了测试,并针对第一片CsI(Tl)晶体的光输出以及所有CsI(Tl)晶体光输出的和的刻度方法分别进行了探索。在此能区下,第一片CsI(Tl)晶体猝灭现象可以近似忽略,即光输出与能量沉积近似呈线性。对于所有晶体光输出的和,利用一个经验公式对其进行刻度,利用这种刻度方法计算得到的光输出的值与实验测量值之间的差别小于5%。A multi-layer CsI(Tl) telescope has been designed and constructed at External Target in Facility (ETF) terminal of the Cooling Storage Ring of Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou(HIRFL-CSR), and is used for identifying light charged particles. The detector consists of seven layers of CsI(Tl) crystals, and the signals of each crystal are read out by four photomultipliers at the corners. Since the response of the CsI(Tl) crystal to the heavy ions is non-linear and also depends on the species of the incident ions, the energy calibration method of the telescope must be carefully studied. With the help of the secondary beams selected by RIBLL2 in the energy ranges from 200 to 300 MeV/u, the telescope has been tested and the energy calibration method for the first-layer crystal together with the whole telescope has been investigated. In this energy region, the quench effect in the first-layer crystal can be neglected and a linear expression can be used to represent the relation between the light output and the energy deposition in the crystal. To the total light output of the telescope, an empirical formula is used for the energy calibration. The difference between the calculated results and the experiment data is globally less than 5%. 相似文献

New limits are presented on the cross section for weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) nucleon scattering in the KIMS CsI(T?) detector array at the Yangyang Underground Laboratory. The exposure used for these results is 24?524.3 kg·days. Nuclei recoiling from WIMP interactions are identified by a pulse shape discrimination method. A low energy background due to alpha emitters on the crystal surfaces is identified and taken into account in the analysis. The detected numbers of nuclear recoils are consistent with zero and 90% confidence level upper limits on the WIMP interaction rates are set for electron equivalent energies from 3 to 11 keV. The 90% upper limit of the nuclear recoil event rate for 3.6-5.8 keV corresponding to 2-4 keV in NaI(T?) is 0.0098 counts/kg/keV/day, which is below the annual modulation amplitude reported by DAMA. This is incompatible with interpretations that enhance the modulation amplitude such as inelastic dark matter models. We establish the most stringent cross section limits on spin-dependent WIMP-proton elastic scattering for the WIMP masses greater than 20 GeV/c2. 相似文献

We report the first measurements of the absolute ionization yield of nuclear recoils in liquid xenon, as a function of energy and electric field. Independent experiments were carried out with two dual-phase time-projection chamber prototypes, developed for the XENON dark matter project. We find that the charge yield increases with decreasing recoil energy, and exhibits only a weak field dependence. These results are the first unambiguous demonstration of the capability of dual-phase xenon detectors to discriminate between electron and nuclear recoils down to 20 keV, a key requirement for a sensitive dark matter search. 相似文献

介绍了Si-APD的工作原理并对Si-APD中的暗电流进行了理论分析。基于RIBLL上产生的放射性核束流,使用CsI(Tl)+Si-APD探测器对中能重离子进行了能量测试。测试结果显示,CsI(Tl)+Si-APD探测器测量20 MeV/u的重离子时,可得到3%的能量分辨;同时还发现Si-APD中的暗电流大小以及入射粒子的能量大小都会对探测器的能量分辨产生影响。In this paper, the working principle of Si-APD was introduced and the dark current of Si-APD was analyzed theoretically. The intermediate energy heavy ions, which are produced on the RIBLL(Radioactive Ion Beam Line in Lanzhou), were measured with CsI(Tl)+Si-APD detector. The energy resolution of CsI(Tl)+Si-APD detector is about 3% for heavy ions with energy around 20 MeV/u. It is also found that the energy resolution of detector can be in uenced by the dark current of Si-APD and the energy of incident particles. 相似文献

For double beta decay and dark matter experiments the determination of the radioactive contamination of materials used is of fundamental importance. The cryogenic particle detectors allow the realization of detectors with various types of materials and in this way the radioactivity is measured in a calorimetric approach with very high sensitivity. In particular a new complete analysis for different types of leads, modern and ancient roman, was realized and here presented. The detector sensitivity for a nuclear recoil event is a crucial point in the dark matter experiments. The nuclear recoil detection efficiency for cryogenic particle detectors was directly measured using two TeO2 crystals facing one with other and performing a coincidence-anticoincidence analysis of the collected data. The determination of the quenching factor for low energy nuclear recoils in the TeO2 cryogenic detectors shows that these devices are very sensitive to a possible dark matter particle interaction. In cryogenic detectors a nuclear recoil generates signals with the same amplitude of an electron with the same energy. The performed measure and the data analysis will be discussed in detail. Finally the experimental setup and the preliminary test of the new array of TeO2 cryogenic detectors for double beta decay and dark matter search will be discussed in detail. 相似文献

The temperature dependences of the light output of CsI(Tl) crystal grown at IMP and of the gain of the Hamamatsu S8664-1010 avalanche photodiode (APD) have been investigated systematically. The light output of the CsI(Tl) crystal increases with temperature by 0.67%/℃ in the region from -2℃ to 8℃, and by 0.33%/℃ in the region from 8℃ to 25℃, while the gain of the tested APD decreases by -3.68%/℃ (working voltage 400V) on average in the room temperature range. The best energy resolution 5.1% of the CsI(Tl) with APD was obtained for the 662keV γ ray from 137Cs radiation source. 相似文献
