1 Introduction With novel materials and advanced technique of printed circuit board (PCB) and micro-electronics be- ing used in MPGD, over the past two decades, great progress has been made in MPGD[1], and as a new type of MPGD, the GEM[2] detector was developed during the late 1990s. Standard GEM from CERN is a thin, two-side copper-coated Kapton foil, perforated with a high density of holes etched using a photolitho- graphic process. The diameter of these holes is about 70 μm (ext… 相似文献

The gas electron multiplier (GEM) is a gaseous detector that is widely used in many applications. Our glass GEM (G-GEM) comprises a photo-etchable glass (PEG3, HOYA Corporation, Japan). Our research indicated that it shows superior performance compared with other gas detectors. In this article, a new type of G-GEM is introduced. It has a guard-ring structure around the holes in order to improve the spark tolerance by reducing the total capacitance of each hole structure. A measured gas gain of approximately 7500 is attained for this new G-GEM with a single-sided guard-ring structure using a gas mixture of Ar (90%) and CH4 (10%) in the gas flow mode. An energy resolution of 17.3% (FWHM) is also achieved with a collimated 6 keV X-ray beam. The results of a 10 to 12 hour gas gain stability measurements are also shown. 相似文献

A new kind of gas detector based on gas electron multiplier (GEM) is studied for X-ray imaging of high luminosity. A single-GEM device is designed to test the prnperty of GEM foil ,The effective gain and counting capability of a double-GEM detector are measured by an X-ray tube with Cu target. An initial X-ray imaging experiment is carried out using a triple-GEM detcctor and the position iesolution of less than 0.1mm is achieved.

A full-scale detector segment with 128 samples of 2 cm and a 50 cm drift space was used to measure precisely the relativistic rise of ionization from 5 to 70 GeV/c in Ne at 1, 2 and 4 atm. The pressure dependence of dE/dx resolution and of particle separation efficiency was determined at 15 GeV/c in several Ne/CnHm mixtures, in Ar/CH4, pure C2H4 and pure C3H8. The results are used for optimization of parameters of a compact colliding beam detector suitable for particle identification up to the 30-50 GeV/c momentum range. The ?/K/p separation is found to be better in Ne, but extends to higher momenta in Ar. Ar is more efficient for e/? separation. The gain in resolution at higher pressures is to certain extent compensated by reduction of the relativistic rise slope, so that the separation efficiency is reduced when the detector dimensions are scaled down with pressure. At 4-5 atm. we obtained slightly better resolution than the 6.0% FWHM (? = 2.5%) record performance of the EPI. In pure C3H8 a resolution below ? = 2.0% was reached. Measurements of drift velocities in various Ne mixtures are presented, showing saturated behaviour already at low E/p values. 相似文献

We have previously reported on continuous miniature crystal element (cMiCE) PET detectors that provide depth of interaction (DOI) positioning capability. A key component of the design is the use of a statistics-based positioning (SBP) method for 3D event positioning. The Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) expresses limits on the estimate variances for a set of deterministic parameters. We examine the CRLB as a useful metric to evaluate the performance of our SBP algorithm and to quickly compare the best possible resolution when investigating new detector designs.In this work, the CRLB is first reported based upon experimental results from a cMiCE detector using a 50×50×15-mm(3) LYSO crystal readout by a 64-channel PMT (Hamamatsu H8500) on the exit surface of the crystal. The X/Y resolution is relatively close to the CRLB, while the DOI resolution is more than double the CRLB even after correcting for beam diameter and finite X (i.e., reference DOI position) resolution of the detector. The positioning performance of the cMiCE detector with the same design was also evaluated through simulation. Similar with the experimental results, the difference between the CRLB and measured spatial resolution is bigger in DOI direction than in X/Y direction.Another simulation study was conducted to investigate what causes the difference between the measured spatial resolution and the CRLB. The cMiCE detector with novel sensor-on-entrance-surface (SES) design was modeled as a 49.2×49.2×15-mm(3) LYSO crystal readout by a 12×12 array of 3.8×3.8-mm(2) silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) elements with 4.1-mm center-to-center spacing on the entrance surface of the crystal. The results show that there are two main causes to account for the differences between the spatial resolution and the CRLB. First, Compton scatter in the crystal degrades the spatial resolution. The DOI resolution is degraded more than the X/Y resolution since small angle scatter is preferred. Second, our maximum likelihood (ML) clustering algorithm also has limitations when developing 3D look up tables during detector calibration. 相似文献

The performance of a single gas electron multiplier(GEM) in pure Xe at an atmospheric pressure is investigated by Particle in Cell-Monte Carlo Collision(PIC-MCC) model.The micro development processes with electrons and ions distributions in space have been revealed.Based on the micro development processes,the macroscopic parameters such as GEM gain and the effective efficiency have also been obtained.The simulation results indicate that after tens of nanoseconds,electrons are collected by the readout electrode while the ions still exist in the gas space for several microseconds.The main signal current is formed by the electrons arriving at the readout electrode,but electrons and ions are also collected by the copper electrodes near the GEM hole and the thin Kapton film boundary.The simulated gain of GEM exponentially increases with the applied GEM voltage.With the PIC-MCC simulations,both the physical amplification and charging mechanisms in the GEM device can be well understood,which is beneficial to the device design. 相似文献

The SSC GEM silicon Central Tracker design incorporated 18-cm long single-sided AC-coupled silicon microstrip ladders. Compared to the 12-cm long ladders considered in the preliminary stages of the tracker design, the 18-cm long ladders have the advantage of reduced cost, channel count and overall power consumption, and led to a simplified tracker assembly. However, such long ships also present the challenge of maintaining satisfactory performance. The increased capacitance and series resistance contribute to lower signal-to-noise ratios, longer time walk, higher power consumption per channel and increased probability of crosstalk to neighboring channels. In this paper, an accurate method to calculate the geometric capacitance of the AC-coupled microstrips is presented and the calculated results are compared with measurements, SPICE simulations are performed to predict the noise, the extent of interstrip capacitive coupling and the dispersion of the detector signal due to the finite series resistance of the metal strips and the long length of the detector. The influence of the preamplifier current and the shaping time on the signal and noise levels is also presented. The study concludes that the 18-cm long ladders can successfully satisfy the performance goals of the GEM silicon Central Tracker 相似文献

The Monte Carlo method was used to calculate the photon detection efficiency and energy resolution curves for a 1.5″ × 1″ NaI(Tl) scintillator detector (crystal + housing + photomultiplier tube material equivalent) exposed to gamma rays in the energy range from 20 keV to 662 keV. This work aims to design a precise computational model, based in Monte Carlo simulation, which can be used in practical application. The energy resolution curve was used to improve the response of the mathematical simulation of the detector. The detector was modeled with the MCNP-X code and the results were compared to experimental photopeak efficiency measurements of radiation sources. The results showed good agreement with the experimental data. 相似文献
