Beam test of a one-dimensional position sensitive chamber on synchrotron radiation

A one-dimensional single-wire chamber was developed to provide high position resolution for powder diffraction experiments with synchrotron radiation. A diffraction test using the sample of SiO₂ has been accomplished at 1W2B laboratory of Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Source. The data of the beam test were analyzed and some diffraction angles were obtained. The experimental results were in good agreement with standard data from ICDD powder diffraction file. The precision of diffraction angles was 1% to 4.7%. Most of the relative errors between measured values of diffraction angles and existing data were less than 1%. As for the detector, the best position resolution in the test was 138 μm (σ value) with an X-ray tube. Finally, discussions of the results were given. The major factor that affected the precision of measurement was deviation from the flat structure of the detector. The effect was analyzed and the conclusion was reached that it would be the optimal measurement scheme when the distance between the powder sample and detector was from 400 mm to 600 mm.

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.     

北京同步辐射1W2B生物大分子束线双丝型BPM实时跟踪监测系统

同步辐射光束位置稳定性对光束强度至关重要,直接会影响到实验数据的质量,因此需要在实验过程中对光束位置进行实时监测.在同步辐射光束线上一般会使用双丝型的光束位置监测器(beam position monitor,BPM)扫描光束,获得光束的截面分布,同时在固定位置的双丝会对光束位置进行静态的实时监测.但是这种监测方式对于入射光束分布有特殊的要求,当光束较大地偏离原有位置时会对双丝BPM造成损伤的危险.北京同步辐射1W2B生物大分子实验站通过采用双丝型BPM实时动态跟踪监测方式,有效地解决了常规监测方式带来的光束分布和光敏丝损伤问题,为实验光束的稳定性研究提供了基础.
