摘要:

本文介绍了一种用于研究能量达$\sim100$ MeV的$γ$射线的简化数字谱仪,并进行了测试。该谱仪仅由一个快速数字示波器和三个闪烁探测器组成,它们可以工作在单一或符合模式下:两个BGO探测器包括$\varnothing\,7.62\times7.62$ cm BGO晶体和一个塑料探测器,包括有机聚苯乙烯基闪烁体。光谱仪的基本性能(能量分辨率,时间分辨率,$γ$射线探测效率)进行了详尽的研究,也使用基于Geant 4的蒙特卡罗模拟。提出了几种离线模式下处理波形的数值算法,并进行了测试,以执行数字定时,脉冲面积测量和无抑制地处理堆积事件。结果,光谱仪显示出比具有相同检测器的常见10位CAMAC ADC获得的能量分辨率更好的$\sim10\%$能量分辨率。基于脉冲波形分析的算法在恶劣条件下(堆积部分含有$\sim30\%$)具有较高的处理效率。所测量的光谱仪的最大计数率为$1.8\times10^5$波形/秒。

英文摘要:

A simplified digital spectrometer for the study of $γ$-rays with energies up to $\sim100$ MeV is presented and tested. The spectrometer is only consisted of a fast digital oscilloscope and three scintillation detectors which can work in single or in coincidence modes: two BGO-detectors comprising $\varnothing\,7.62\times7.62$ cm BGO-crystalls and one plastic detector which includes an organic polystyrene-based scintillator. The basic properties of the spectrometer (energy resolution, time resolution, $γ$-rays detection efficiency) were studied exhaustively also using a Geant4-based Monte-Carlo simulation. Several numerical algorithms for processing of waveforms in offline mode were proposed and tested to perform digital timing, pulse area measurement and processing of pile-up events without rejection. As a result, the spectrometer demonstrated $\sim10\%$ better energy resolution than was obtained by a common 10-bit CAMAC ADC with the same detectors. And the developed algorithm based on the pulse shape analysis for processing of pile-up events showed high efficiency under severe conditions (the portion of pile-ups contained $\sim30\%$). The measured maximum counting rate of the spectrometer was $1.8\times10^5$ waveforms/sec.
