摘要:

P型点接触(PPC)高纯锗探测器因其卓越的能量分辨率、低噪声和脉冲形状甄别能力,是天体粒子物理与核物理中的一项重要技术。对MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR(一个部署了富集$^{76}$Ge的PPC探测器的无中微子双贝塔衰变实验)数据的分析,带来了PPC信号分析方面的多项新改进。本文讨论了PPC探测器中的电荷俘获及其对能量分辨率的影响。晶格中的微小位错或杂质会俘获感兴趣电离事件产生的电荷载流子,从而衰减信号并劣化所测能量。我们提出了一种改进的数字极零校正方法用于信号能量估计,该方法可抵消电荷俘获的影响,并将MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR的能量分辨率提高约30%,在2039 keV($^{76}$Ge的$Q$值)处达到约2.4 keV FWHM。本文还给出了另一种实现类似分辨率提升的替代方法。

英文摘要:

P-type point contact (PPC) high-purity germanium detectors are an important technology in astroparticle and nuclear physics due to their superb energy resolution, low noise, and pulse shape discrimination capabilities. Analysis of data from the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR, a neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment deploying PPC detectors enriched in $^{76}$Ge, has led to several novel improvements in the analysis of PPC signals. In this work we discuss charge trapping in PPC detectors and its effect on energy resolution. Small dislocations or impurities in the crystal lattice result in trapping of charge carriers from an ionization event of interest, attenuating the signal and degrading the measured energy. We present a modified digital pole-zero correction to the signal energy estimation that counters the effects of charge trapping and improves the energy resolution of the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR by approximately 30% to around 2.4 keV FWHM at 2039 keV, the $^{76}$Ge $Q$-value. An alternative approach achieving similar resolution enhancement is also presented.
