AI中文摘要:
编码掩模技术已广泛应用于X射线和伽马射线成像仪,尤其在空间天文学领域。然而,传统编码掩模成像仪的设计通常存在体积大、重量重的问题。本文提出一种基于玻璃微通道板(MCP)技术的新型编码掩模成像仪设计,使其重量控制在1kg以内,兼具紧凑性与自支撑性,非常适合空间探测卫星应用。该设计通过X射线束线测量对编码图案进行重建以完成初步验证,还对集成至6U立方卫星的模块开展蒙特卡罗模拟,评估其在轨探测器性能,包括灵敏度与源定位能力。
英文摘要:
The coded mask technique has been widely used in X-ray and Gamma-ray imagers, especially in space astronomy. However, the traditional design of coded mask imagers usually has problems with large size and heavy weight. Here, we propose a novel design for a coded mask imager made of glass based on microchannel plate (MCP) technology, making it lightweight (within 1 kg), compact, and self-supporting, which is very suitable for space exploration satellites. The design is initially demonstrated by reconstructing encoded patterns from measurements at the X-ray beamline. Monte Carlo simulations of the module integrated into a 6U CubeSat are conducted to assess its in-orbit detector performance, including sensitivity and source localization.
