Background
With the development of radiation detection technology, high-energy ray detection is widely applied to the fields of medical diagnosis and treatment, safety inspection, nuclear power monitoring and the like, and a large-size radiation detector becomes a main choice for high-end application of radiation detection due to the wide energy response range and high detection efficiency. The development of the ray signal analysis technology towards the direction of multi-dimensionality, refinement and high reliability gradually due to the expansion of the size of the detector, the improvement of the identification and resolution capability of the detector on high-energy rays and the full play of the advantages of large volume become the key for improving the performance of devices, and the development of a radiation detector with three-dimensional position resolution capability is the research front in the field of high-energy ray detection at present.
Generally, two-dimensional projection coordinates of a ray action site on an anode plane are determined through an anode electrode structure of the detector, and the action depth of rays in the detector, namely the third-dimensional coordinates of the ray action site, is calculated and obtained by substituting a cathode signal and an anode signal into a theoretical formula. The three-dimensional position resolution level greatly improves the acquisition capability of the detector on the energy and distribution information of the radioactive source, but the method for acquiring the third-dimensional coordinate of the ray action site through theoretical model calculation usually does not consider the influence of the properties of the detection crystal and an actual reading circuit, and the reliability of the calculated result needs to be improved. It is highly desirable to find a method of determining the third dimensional coordinates of the radiation action site that has high reliability and takes into account the inherent properties of the detection system.

2. determining the length of the collimating slit:
Figure FDA0003785606710000022
3. collimator width for determining ray incidence direction:
the width of the collimator in the ray incidence direction is more than or equal to the width of the collimator in the ray incidence direction plus 2 standard gasket widths;
3. the height of the single collimator is larger than the distance between the cathode and the anode of the selected detector;
4. determining the width of a collimation slit according to the expected depth resolution of the detector, wherein the height of the standard gauge block is consistent with the depth resolution;
and 2, step: the detector to be detected is placed on the other side, opposite to the high-energy gamma ray surface source (1), of the high-energy ray collimation block (2), and the number of layers of the standard gauge blocks is adjusted to adjust the collimation slit to be aligned with the detection part on the side face of the detector;
the planes of the anode and the cathode of the gamma ray detector are parallel to the planes of the upper surface and the lower surface of the slit of the collimation system;
the arrangement plane of the radioactive sources is vertical to the plane of the center of the slit of the pure tungsten collimation system;
the distance from the radioactive source to the collimation system is far greater than the distance from the collimation system to the detector;
and step 3: testing the energy response and the time response of the detector at the initial position; the initial position is as follows: the plane of the anode/cathode of the detector is overlapped with the plane of the lower/upper surface of the collimation slit;
and 4, step 4: fixing the position of the detector unchanged, gradually increasing or decreasing the number of standard cushion blocks supporting the collimation system, and respectively testing to obtain signals of high-energy rays acting on the detector in different depths;
and 5: rays are incident from the side wall of the detector through a collimator system, an anode pixel electrode signal and a cathode plane electrode signal when each photoelectric effect event occurs are obtained through testing, and according to the ray depth principle, the cathode signal/the anode signal are in direct proportion to the ray incidence depth theoretically; calculating the ratio of the cathode signal to the anode signal in the test, and fitting the relation between the ratio of the cathode signal to the anode signal and the calibrated depth by using a linear function to obtain an actual depth calibration parameter;
the gamma rays which can be emitted by the radioactive source are attenuated by the detector, and the penetrating intensity is larger than 40%.
10. The method of claim 9, wherein: the resistivity of the cadmium zinc telluride material of the detector is 10 9 Omega cm or above, working leakage current less than 10nA, and naked measurement 241 Am energy spectrum, the energy resolution ratio of gamma ray with energy of 59.5keV is less than 7%, and the inside of the crystal has no macroscopic defect, no crystal boundary and uniform tellurium inclusion distribution.
