Development of a portable and fast wire tension measurement system for MWPC construction

In a multi-wire proportional chamber detector(MWPC), the anode and signal wires must maintain suitable tension, which is very important for the detector's stable and accurate performance. As a result, wire tension control and measurement is essential in MWPC construction. A high pressure3 He MWPC detector is to be used as the thermal neutron detector of the multi-functional reflectometer at China Spallation Neutron Source, and in the construction of the detector, we have developed a wire tension measurement system. This system is accurate,portable and time-saving. With it, the wire tension on an anode wire plane has been tested. The measurement results show that the wire tension control techniques used in detector manufacture are reliable.

Sequential method for high 3-D resolution imaging in nuclear medicine

A sequential method is developed to obtain a high resolution 3-D image distribution of the activity of a radioactive tracer. Two different types of reconstruction are presented. The first method, related to X or γ ray motion tomography, yields reconstructed objects slices (tomograms) containing superimposed out-of-focus blurred planes. The second method, utilizing computer processing, generates each plane (slice) separately, free from out-of-focus images, as in X-ray scanner transaxial tomography. This approach avoids calculations of the tomograms and improves the restitution of low spatial frequencies. A method of spatial filtering for quantum noise reduction is also proposed.     

Performance of 300 s-beam extraction in the KSTAR neutral beam injector

The first neutral beam injector (NBI-1) has been developed for the Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) tokamak. The first long pulse ion source (LPIS-1) has been installed in the NBI-1 for an auxiliary heating and current drive of KSTAR plasmas. The performance of 300 s ion beam extraction in the LPIS-1 was investigated on the KSTAR NBI-1 system, prior to the neutral beam injection for long pulse operation. The ion source consists of a magnetic bucket plasma generator with multi-pole cusp fields and a set of prototype tetrode accelerators with circular-type apertures. The inner volume of the plasma generator and accelerator column in the LPIS-1 is approximately 123 L. The nominal operation requirements for the ion source (IS) were a 100 kV/50 A deuterium beam and a 300 s pulse length. The extraction of ion beams was initiated by the formation of arc plasmas in the LPIS-1, called an arc-beam extraction method. A stable ion beam extraction of the LPIS-1 was achieved with 80 kV/27 A and a beam perveance of 1.19 microperv for a 300 s pulse length. Beam power deposition along the NBI-1 has been measured using water-flow calorimetry (WFC), and the sum of the deposited power on the ion source and beamline components was about 93% of the drained acceleration power (V_acc?I_acc). The beam power deposition was compared to the calculated results of the beam transport with re-ionization (BTR) code.     

Influence of working gas properties on MWPC anode wire modulation effect

For MWPCs used for X-ray position detection, simulation studies of the anode wire modulation effect of the detector were carried out using the Garfield program. Different gas mixtures were used as the working gas in the simulation, so as to obtain the influence of the X-ray cross section and electron diffusion coefficient of the working gases on the anode wire modulation effect of an MWPC with anode wire spacing of 2 mm. Results show that, though a working gas with higher X-ray cross section implies a larger average drift distance for the ionized electrons, such gas mixtures are of little use in improving the anode wire modulation effect of MWPCs. It is found that the transverse electron diffusion coefficient is the determining factor for the extent of the anode wire modulation effect in the detector.
