闪烁体探测器中光的衰减通式(英文)

闪烁体探测器被广泛应用于当今粒子物理与原子核物理实验中。研究闪烁探测器的光衰减规律（LASD）对时间和能量的准确测量都十分重要,这一点对条形闪烁探测器尤为如此。本文以圆柱闪烁探测器为例,对各向同性的闪烁光进行立体角积分,进而研究不同立体角下光程差异对结果的影响。在数值计算的基础上,导出了描述LASD的通用公式。在一定条件下,公式可以约化为双指数衰减形式。对于DAMPE上PSD的实验数据,该公式能使闪烁体远端的拟合偏差从大约10%降低至2%以下。同时,模型也能够很好地描述Kaiser实验、Gierlik实验和Platino实验的实验数据。Scintillator detectors are widely used in modern nuclear and particle physics experiments. Studying the light attenuation of scintillator detector (LASD) is vitally important for extracting proper measurements of energy and time. In this paper, we integrate the isotropic fluorescence over solid angle to study the influence on overall light-intensity from varying optical path at different angle. Based on numerical results, a universal formula for describing LASD is derived. Under certain condition, our formula can be written as a form of widely-used double-exponential function. The universal formula describes the experimental data of PSD at DAMPE, reducing the maximum deviation at far-side of the scintillator from~10% to less than 2%. Moreover, our model also deciphers Kaiser's experiment, Gierlik's experiment and Platino's experiment successfully.     

小型宇宙射线探测仪的模拟和测量

介绍了一款小型宇宙射线探测仪。该仪器具有宇宙射线科普演示功能,主要用于实时测量μ子射线并显示计数,以及长时间尺度下（年）稳定地对不同角度的次级宇宙线通量进行监控记录。简要地展示了探测器的硬件构造和探测效率的模拟计算。探测仪单个探测器的探测效率为93.1%,两个探测器符合测量的探测效率为86.6%。根据探测器的计数率以及模拟计算的探测效率,估计了次级宇宙射线垂直地面方向的通量,为J=29±3 m-2 sr-1 s-1。另外,利用该宇宙射线探测仪,测量了兰州市区的次级宇宙射线的天顶角分布。其结果很好地满足I（θ）=IH+I₀ cosα θ经验公式,其中的角度依赖参数α=2.42±0.52。A small cosmic ray device is introduced in this paper.It has the demonstration function for popularization of science,and can be used mainly to display the μ counts in a real-time measurement,and to monitor the secondary cosmic ray flux at different angles in a very long time scale (years).We briefly show the hardware of the device and the detecting efficiency calculation by simulation.The detecting efficiency for one detector of the device is 93.1%,and the detecting efficiency is 86.6% for the coincidence measurement of two detectors.Based on the count rate by the detector and the simulated efficiency,the secondary cosmic ray flux perpendicular to the ground surface is measured,which is J=29±3 m-2sr-1 s-1.Moreover,with an application of the device,we measured the angular distribution of the secondary cosmic ray rate in Lanzhou City.The resulting angular distribution agrees well with the empirical formula as I(θ)=IH+I₀ cosα θ,in which the parameter for the angle-dependence is α=2.42±0.53.     

超氚核寿命之谜及其展望(英文)

近期,基于重离子碰撞的实验组（HypHI,STAR）发表了超氚核（hypertriton）的寿命测量结果。其结果显示,超氚核的寿命比Λ超子短~30%。由于超氚核是一个非常松散的结合态,超氚核的寿命不应远离Λ超子的寿命太多。这一难以解释的现象被称为超氚核的短寿命之谜。为了从不同的实验方法检验超氚核的寿命,我们提出利用J-PARC的K-束流,通过K-+3He → _Λ3H+π0的反应道来测量超氚核寿命的实验。本文将回顾测量超氚核寿命的主要结果,并介绍目前实验方面的最新进展。本合作组提出的原创性实验方案不会受到径迹重建效率的影响,能够为验证超氚核的寿命提供重要的实验数据。
