多丝正比室视差效应改善方法

通过模拟研究,找到了一种采用非均匀电极高压来改善探测器视差效应的方法;考察了该方法对多丝正比室的电子收集效率、增益一致性等性能的影响。结果表明:该方法可以显著减小探测器的视差效应,不会影响探测器的电子收集效率,引起的阳极丝增益一致性的变化也基本不会对探测器的总体性能造成影响。     

Developments of a 2D position sensitive neutron detector

China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS), one project of the 12^th Five-Year-Plan scheme of China, is under construction in Guangdong province. Three neutron spectrometers will be installed during the first phase of the project, and two-dimensional position sensitive thermal neutron detectors are required. Before the construction of the neutron detectors, a prototype of a two-dimensional 200 mm×200 mm Multi-wire Proportional Chamber (MWPC) with Ar/CO₂ (90/10) flowing gas has been constructed. In 2009, the prototype was tested with the ⁵⁵Fe X-ray using part of the electronics, and performed well.     

基于二次电子发射的离子束剖面测量

介绍了利用二次电子发射测量束流强度分布的基本原理。针对能量为几十keV的低能离子束,制作了一个基于印刷线路板工艺的离子束剖面测量系统模型。模型采用宽度1.8 mm的金属条作为收集电极,相邻两条之间的间距为2 mm。利用电子回旋共振源对束流剖面测量系统进行了性能测试,考察了网栅电压对信号收集的影响以及系统的线性响应和成像特性。结果表明,探测器输出信号与束流强度之间具有较好的线性关系,系统能得到离子束的一维横向强度分布,位置分辨率2 mm。     

Simulation study of the parallax effectof gaseous detectors

A simulation study of the parallax effect of gaseous detectors using the Garfield program is reported. A method that mainly uses non-uniform cathode potentials to reduce the parallax error of planar type gas detectors is described. By applying it to MWPC and Micro-pattern gas detectors, the method reduces the parallax broadening with very good results. For a 13° incidence track, the width (FWHM) of the parallax broadening is reduced to less than 20% of the normal one after using the special cathode potentials.     

测量离子束横向截面的闪烁体屏的热分析

针对基于闪烁屏-CCD(电荷耦合元件)相机的氘离子束横向强度分布测量系统,利用ANSYS软件模拟计算了在直流及脉冲模式下,能量100 keV、束斑直径3 mm氘离子轰击造成的Al₂O₃, SiO₂以及锗酸铋(BGO)三种候选闪烁体材料的表面温度变化。结果表明,在30 μA的直流氘离子束轰击下,闪烁体表面温度随辐照时间急剧地升高。持续时间10 min的氘离子束轰击将使三种材料前表面的温度分别升高131,234和649 ℃。对于峰值流强30 μA、重复频率1 Hz、脉宽5 μs的重复频率脉冲氘离子束,每个脉冲引起的三种闪烁屏表面的温度升高均小于0.05 ℃,且长时间的离子辐照基本不会造成闪烁屏的表面温度有明显的升高。对于脉宽5 μs的单脉冲氘离子束,三种材料的表面温度均随离子流强近似呈线性地增加。在单脉冲模式下,Al₂O₃,SiO₂以及BGO闪烁屏能允许的最高离子流强分别为2.32,1.08和0.72 A,超过此流强其表面温度将达到熔点。     

Design and experimental study of a two-dimensional position sensitive X-ray detector

A prototype of a two-dimensional position sensitive X-ray detector was designed and constructed for small angle X-ray scattering experiments at BSFR (Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility). The detector is based on MWPC with cathode strip readout, and has a sensitive area of 200 mm×200 mm. The spatial resolution (FWHM) of about 210 μm along the anode wire direction was obtained from the ⁵⁵Fe X-ray test of the detector.
