Description

MCP neutron detection system and measurement method based on secondary electrons generated by charged particles
Technical Field
The invention relates to a neutron detector for measuring a neutron time spectrum in an ultrafast pulse neutron radiation field, in particular to an MCP ultrafast pulse neutron detection system and a measuring method based on secondary electrons generated by charged particles.
Background
The current research has completed the construction of 120MeV electron linear accelerators and output beams. The accelerator mainly comprises a laser, a photocathode microwave electron gun, an accelerating tube, a microwave power source, a magnet system, a beam measuring and monitoring system, a personal safety interlocking system and the like. It can generate electron beams with energy of 60-120 MeV, pulse width of 1-3 ps and beam spot diameter of 15 μm. The electron beam target can generate ultrafast white light neutrons, and has short duration (ns magnitude) and small neutron number (about 10) per pulse 8 Pulse), wide neutron energy range (thermal neutron to ultrahigh energy neutron), and the like. The measurement of parameters such as neutron energy spectrum of the source has very important significance for researching the ps electronic targeting characteristics.
The time-of-flight method is usually adopted to measure the energy spectrum of the white-light neutron source, which is the most direct and classical measuring method, and the accuracy and the application range of the measuring result greatly exceed those of other methods. The neutron energy resolution of the time-of-flight method is determined by the flight distance of neutrons, the pulse width, the time response of the detector and the resolution time of the time timer, and for a specific neutron source, the neutron pulse width of the target is a fixed value, and the time response of the detector is required to be improved as much as possible to improve the neutron energy resolution of the detector.
The number of neutrons generated by ps electron beam targeting is small (about 10) 8 /pulse), the detector requires close range measurements to improve neutron counting efficiency,however, when the neutron energy spectrum is measured in the near field, the energy resolution of neutrons is reduced, so that a neutron detector with ultra-fast time response needs to be developed to counteract the influence caused by the reduction of the flight distance, and the neutron pulse width is in ns order, so that the time response of the detector is at least in sub-ns order, and the energy resolution cannot be greatly influenced.
However, the time response of most neutron detectors is more than ns magnitude at present, and the time response of only a small part of neutron detectors reaches sub-ns. At present, a neutron detector with time response of sub ns magnitude mainly adopts a mode of an ultrafast organic scintillator BC422, EJ232 or an inorganic scintillator ZnO plus a photomultiplier. The time response of the neutron detector mainly depends on the time response of a photoelectric detector and the luminescence decay time of a scintillator, generally, the faster the scintillator emits light, the higher the proportion of a doped quencher is, the lower the luminescence efficiency is, and further the sensitivity of the detector is influenced, an incident window and a photocathode of a photomultiplier are sensitive to light, charged particles, rays and the temperature of the external environment, if the shielding is not good, the direct background and dark current signals of the detector are large, the neutron detector cannot have single particle measurement capability and strong anti-interference capability, meanwhile, the scintillation has high luminescence efficiency on electrons, so that the sensitivity of the detector to X or gamma rays is high, and the n/gamma resolution capability of the detector is difficult to improve. ps high-energy electron beam targeting can generate stronger X rays, and because an electron gun and an accelerating tube of the 120MeV linear accelerator work under a strong electric field of dozens of MV/m, field-induced electrons can be generated on the surfaces of the electron gun and the accelerating tube even if no incident laser exists, the electrons can be accelerated to high energy if in the accelerating phase of microwaves, and bremsstrahlung can be generated when the high-energy field-induced electrons impact on the wall of a vacuum tube, which can interfere measurement. Due to the limited field and the measuring distance, the photomultiplier cannot be well shielded, for example, even if the photomultiplier is placed at a position about 2m away from the target head and the periphery of the photomultiplier is covered by two lead bricks with the thickness of 5cm (as shown in fig. 1) in an experiment, strong field signal interference can still be seen (as shown in fig. 2). From the experimental results of fig. 2, it can be seen that the channel 2 is the output waveform of the photomultiplier, a peak (with an amplitude of about 4V) in the middle of the left side is an X-ray signal generated by electron beam targeting, and a small peak (with an amplitude of about several hundred mV) with dense hemp appears before and after the peak signal is a bremsstrahlung signal generated by field electrons, which will bring great interference to the neutron energy spectrum measured by the time-of-flight method.
Therefore, a measurement mode of an ultrafast scintillator and an ultrafast photomultiplier tube cannot be adopted on a 120MeV linear accelerator, and in order to measure neutrons generated by electron targeting in an accelerator hall with severe field emission, research and development of a novel detector with the characteristics of ultrafast time response, high neutron sensitivity, wide neutron energy spectrum response, insensitivity to X/gamma rays and the like are urgently needed.

when neutrons are incident from the polyethylene surface of the composite conversion target 1, recoil protons, alpha particles, and neutrons are generated in the composite conversion target 1 7 Charged particles such as Li particles, which are selected from 10 B surface emitting charged particles when charged 10 The coating 2 on the surface B can generate secondary electrons when emergent, the secondary electrons enter the grid electrode plate 3 and are accelerated to hundreds of eV, then enter the two-pole deflection magnet 5 and are deflected by 180 degrees to enter the MCP detector 9, the current multiplied by the MCP detector 9 is output and is recorded by the oscilloscope 11, and thus, the measurement of neutrons is realized.
