摘要:

Micromegas探测器是探测低能X射线的最佳技术选择。多年来,应用于这些探测器的低本底技术产生了显着的本底降低,成为这些发展的CAST实验受益者。在本文件中,我们报告了最新的升级,以进一步减少背景和更好地了解探测器的响应。升级包括读出电子设备,新的探测器设计和更有效的宇宙μ子否决系统的实施。首次在海平面获得了低于10 $^{-6}$ keV $^{-1}$ cm $^{-2}$ s $^{-1}$的本底能级,证明了下一代轴子日像仪IAO所提出的期望的可行性。本文还将介绍和讨论在CAST探测器实验室的X射线束中进行的一系列测量所获得的一些结果。

英文摘要:

Micromegas detectors are an optimum technological choice for the detection of low energy x-rays. The low background techniques applied to these detectors yielded remarkable background reductions over the years, being the CAST experiment beneficiary of these developments. In this document we report on the latest upgrades towards further background reductions and better understanding of the detectors' response. The upgrades encompass the readout electronics, a new detector design and the implementation of a more efficient cosmic muon veto system. Background levels below 10$^{-6}$keV$^{-1}$cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ have been obtained at sea level for the first time, demonstrating the feasibility of the expectations posed by IAXO, the next generation axion helioscope. Some results obtained with a set of measurements conducted in the x-ray beam of the CAST Detector Laboratory will be also presented and discussed.
