基于γ全吸收型BaF2探测装置的波形分析和定时方法研究

Study of Waveform Analysis and Timing Method for γ Ray Total Absorption BaF2 Detector Facility

  • 摘要: 中国原子能科学研究院正在建造的γ全吸收型BaF2探测装置用于精确测量keV能区的中子俘获反应截面。本文应用FlashADC采集得到装置输出的脉冲信号,通过波形的面积积分获取60Co和137Cs源的能谱,并与传统电子学测量结果进行比较。结果表明,应用3种数字化波形分析方法(脉冲形状鉴别、基线补偿和时间窗限定)有效剔除了BaF2探测器自身固有的α粒子和电子学噪声的本底。采用多种定时方法研究了γ射线到达BaF2探测器的时刻,比较了时间分布谱的半高宽(FWHM),结果表明,恒比定时法和数字化恒比定时法更适用于在线实验。

     

    Abstract: The γ ray total absorption BaF2 detector facility is being constructed at China Institute of Atomic Energy, which will be used to accurately measure the neutron capture cross section with the energy of keV. The pulse signals from the detectors were acquired by FlashADC. The energy spectra of 60Co and 137Cs were obtained by integral of waveform area, and their resolutions were as equal as that of traditional electronics method. Three methods (pulse shape discrimination, baseline compensation and time window limit) of digital waveform analysis were applied to effectively reduce the background from α particles and electronics noise. The arrival time of γ ray detected by BaF2 detector was determined by various timing methods. The comparison of FWHM indicates that constant fraction discrimination and digital constant fraction discrimination will be used to measure the neutron energy of capture reaction in online experiment.
