CDEX-1 1 kg point-contact germanium detector for low mass dark matter searches

The CDEX collaboration has been established for direct detection of light dark matter particles, using ultra-low energy threshold point-contact p-type germanium detectors, in China JinPing underground Laboratory (CJPL). The first 1 kg point-contact germanium detector with a sub-keV energy threshold has been tested in a passive shielding system located in CJPL. The outputs from both the point-contact P⁺ electrode and the outside N⁺ electrode make it possible to scan the lower energy range of less than 1 keV and at the same time to detect the higher energy range up to 3 MeV. The outputs from both P⁺ and N⁺ electrode may also provide a more powerful method for signal discrimination for dark matter experiment. Some key parameters, including energy resolution, dead time, decay times of internal X-rays, and system stability, have been tested and measured. The results show that the 1 kg point-contact germanium detector, together with its shielding system and electronics, can run smoothly with good performances. This detector system will be deployed for dark matter search experiments.

Measurement of cosmic ray flux in the China JinPing underground laboratory

The China JinPing underground Laboratory (CJPL) is the deepest underground laboratory running in the world at present. In such a deep underground laboratory, the cosmic ray flux is a very important and necessary parameter for rare-event experiments. A plastic scintillator telescope system has been set up to measure the cosmic ray flux. The performance of the telescope system has been studied using the cosmic rays on the ground laboratory near the CJPL. Based on the underground experimental data taken from November 2010 to December 2011 in the CJPL, which has an effective live time of 171 days, the cosmic ray muon flux in the CJPL is measured to be (2.0±0.4)×10-10/(cm2 ·s). The ultra-low cosmic ray background guarantees an ideal environment for dark matter experiments at the CJPL.     

原位生长Pd/Ni(OH)2/NF复合催化剂及其析氢性能

采用水热合成法在泡沫镍上原位构建了低贵金属含量的钯/氢氧化镍纳米复合催化剂（Pd/Ni（OH）₂/NF）。通过扫描电镜,能谱仪,X射线衍射仪和X射线光电子谱仪等分析技术表征了催化剂的形貌和微观结构;运用线性扫描伏安法,电化学阻抗谱和计时电流法等手段研究了催化剂的催化析氢性能。实验结果显示复合催化剂具有特殊的微观构型,超薄的Ni（OH）₂薄片生长在泡沫镍表面,纳米尺寸的钯均匀地镶嵌在氢氧化镍薄片中。催化剂表面的氢氧化镍有利于促进水的解离,加快氢中间体的形成;均匀分散的钯极易吸附解离的氢中间体,快速地复合成氢气分子。我们发现复合催化剂能协同加快析氢反应过程,极大地降低析氢过电位,提高了析氢活性。此外,复合催化剂原位生长在泡沫镍上,有效地提高了催化电极的稳定性。     

Measurement of avalanche size and position resolution of RPCs with different surface resistivities of the high voltage provider

The effects of surface resistivity of the high voltage provider on the space dispersion of the induced charge of a prototype Resistive Plate Chamber （RPC） have been studied experimentally and theoretically. The results of both experiment and theory agree and confirm that a two-Gaussian function can be used to fit the dispersion of the induced charge of the RPC. It is shown that the Gaussian function with the narrower width is mainly due to the expansion of the avalanche charge in the gas gap of the RPC, and the Gaussian function with the larger width is due to the charge dispersion when it passes through the resistive carbon film. This will be useful in the RPC design when one wants to make an RPC with high position resolution.     

电感耦合等离子体发射光谱(ICP-OES)法测定红外干扰烟幕材料中的镁、铝、铜

某红外干扰烟幕材料中镁、铝、铜元素的含量直接影响其干扰性能。化学滴定法是测定金属元素含量的传统方法,但这种方法过程繁琐、冗长,只能依次测定,且在铝和铜同时存在下无法对镁元素定量分析。建立了一种采用浓硝酸消解样品,对消解液过滤、稀释后直接用电感耦合等离子发射光谱(ICP-OES)法测定某红外干扰烟幕材料中镁、铝、铜元素含量的方法。当Mg、Al、Cu的分析线选择279.5、167.0和324.7 nm时,其检测限分别达到0.013、0.040和0.025μg/mL,且样品测定的加标回收率均在102%~105%,相对标准偏差在1.0%~3.0%(n=8),表明方法的准确度和精密度均良好。还对方法的总标准偏差进行了溯源,并与络合滴定法结果进行了比较。显著性检验表明两种方法的结果无显著性差异,但ICP-OES法更简便、快速,并能对三种元素同时测定,因此可完全替代传统的化学滴定法。
