一维丝室气体探测器衍射像差的修正方法研究

一维位置灵敏单丝气体探测器采用单根镀金钨丝和200根阴极感应条的探测结构, X射线在阳极丝上产生的信号被多个阴极条感应, 利用重心法得到X射线的原初电离点的位置信息, 位置分辨率达到160 μm(半高全宽). 在同步辐射衍射实验中, X射线通过样品后会形成不同大小的衍射环, 本实验中测量得到11.148°和14.201°的两组衍射角位置信息; 通过平行移动一维探测器在衍射环范围内多次扫描, 可以重建得到二维衍射环. 由于一维探测器的气体厚度和入射窗宽度会给测量结果带来像差, 分析发现像差的影响大于一维探测器的位置分辨. 基于相应的物理分析对测量到的衍射位置进行修正, 修正后的衍射位置相比修正前的衍射位置的相对像差最大改善达到7%, 该方法实现了无像差二维衍射环的重建.

高通量下GEM探测器高压供电模式研究

GEM探测器的供电一般采用电阻链分压供电模式和多路分立供电模式,在低通量X射线下测量时区别不大,但是在高通量X射线时,电阻链分压供电模式会带来饱和效应引起工作电压的变化,造成探测器工作不稳定。本研究在高通量X 射线照射下,研究了有效面积为100 mm100 mm三层级联GEM探测器的有效增益(稳定性) 与不同高压供电模式的关系。通过测量不同分压电阻值(1, 2, 5 到30 MΩ)的实验研究,发现随着X 射线通量的增加,在电阻链分压供电模式下,出现了GEM探测器感应电极的读出电流饱和趋势,分析了可能导致饱和效应出现的原因。结果表明,当入射X射线在探测器上的有效吸收剂量不断增加时,电阻链供电模式需要调整分压单元电阻值,或者采用多路分立供电模式,从而避免因饱和效应引起的GEM探测器有效增益的变化,实现探测器稳定的工作状态。There are two methods of the HV power supply for the GEM detector. One is a HV channel divided by the resistive chain and the other is the several separate HV channels. In the smaller dose rate of X-ray, all of the methods are similar. When the dose rate increases, the resistive chain-dividing mode has more obvious saturation effect and the working voltage of the GEM detector is unstable. In the paper, a GEM detector with an effective area of 100 mm100 mm has been studied in the high dose rate using X-tube. The unit values in the divider resistance chain are set to 1, 2, 5 and 30 MΩ respectively in the test. With the resistive chain-dividing mode, the readout current of the GEM detector’s anode tends to saturate when the dose rate of X-ray increases,and the reasons of the saturation effect are analyzed. The results indicate that the effective absorbed dose of X-ray by the triple GEMs detector reaches to the pecific value and the divider resistance needs to re-select, even the several separate HV channels mode should be considered. It will keep the constant of the working voltage of the GEM detector without the saturation effect and gain variation and the performance of GEM detector is stable.     

Investigation of GEM-Micromegas detector on X-ray beam of synchrotron radiation

To reduce the discharge of the standard bulk Micromegas and GEM detectors, a GEM-Micromegas detector was developed at the Institute of High Energy Physics. Taking into account the advantages of the two detectors, one GEM foil was set as a preamplifier on the mesh of Micromegas in the structure and the GEM preamplification decreased the working voltage of Micromegas to significantly reduce the effect of the discharge. At the same gain, the spark probability of the GEM-Micromegas detector can be reduced to a factor 0.01 compared to the standard Micromegas detector, and an even higher gain could be obtained. This paper describes the performance of the X-ray beam detector that was studied at 1W2B Laboratory of Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility. Finally, the result of the energy resolution under various X-ray energies was given in different working gases. This indicates that the GEM-Micromegas detector has an energy response capability in an energy range from 6 keV to 20 keV and it could work better than the standard bulk-Micromegas.     

Reconstruction algorithm study of 2D interpolating resistive readout structure

Systematic investigations including both simulation and prototype tests have been done about the interpolating resistive readout structure with GEM (Gaseous Electron Multiplier) detector. From the simulation, we have a good knowledge of the process of charge diffusion on the surface of the readout plane and develop several reconstruction methods to determine the hit position. The total signal duration time of a typical event with the readout structure was about several hundred nanoseconds, which implied an ideal count rate up to 10⁶ Hz. A stable working prototype was designed and fabricated after the simulation. Using ⁵⁵Fe 5.9 keV X-ray, the image performance of the prototype was examined with flat field image and some special geometry shapes, meanwhile, an energy resolution of about 17% was obtained.     

Study of 2D interpolating readout for a micro-pattern gaseous detector

The two-dimensional interpolating readout, a new readout concept based on resistive anode structure, was studied for the micro-pattern gaseous detector. Within its high spatial resolution, the interpolating resistive readout structure leads to an enormous reduction of electronic channels compared with pure pixel devices, and also makes the detector more reliable and robust, which is attributed to its resistive anode relieving discharge. A GEM (gaseous electron multiplier) detector with 2D interpolating resistive readout structure was set up and the performance of the detector was studied with 55Fe 5.9 keV X-ray. The detector worked stably at the gain up to 3.5 × 104 without any discharge. An energy resolution of about 19%, and a spatial resolution of about 219 μm (FWHM) were reached, and good imaging performance was also obtained.
