用于重离子治癌的大面积平行板雪崩计数器

简单介绍了重离子治癌的原理， 叙述了一种用于重离子治癌的大面积平行板雪崩计数器， 它主要由入射窗、 x位置栅极、 中心阳极、 y位置栅极和出射窗组成. 使用C3F8气体， 气压700 Pa， 阳极电压为700 V， 两阴极接地, 电子学成形时间常数为2 μs, 测试得到的位置分辨修正后为0.54 mm(FWHM). 通过与国内外同类装置比较， 认为这一分辨已经满足了重离子治癌装置的要求. he principle of the heavy ion therapy is introduced in this article. In order to precisely determine the irradiation profiles and positions of scanned heavy ion beams, we developed a large area parallel plate avalanche counter(PPAC). The detector consists of one anode, two cathodes and two windows with 250 mm×250 mm active area . It was measured at an anode voltage of 700 V and with flowing C3F8 gas at the pressure of 700 Pa. A position resolution of 0.54 mm by correction was obtained with an α source. As compared with the similar devices, we consider the position resolution of the PPAC can satisfy the requirement of the facility of heavy ion therapy.
