摘要/Abstract

摘要： 本文使用YSO晶体阵列和MPPC阵列组成核辐射成像探测器,探究了基于MPPC阵列的核辐射成像探测器性能关键影响因素,包括前端电阻网络、光导厚度和光导边缘切割深度。首先,前端电子学实验发现,采用均匀电荷分配电路(SCD)可改善图像变形问题并提高信噪比。接着,在SCD基础上研究了不同厚度光导(0、1.0、1.5、2.0、2.5 mm)对成像性能的影响,结果显示光导厚度为1.5 mm时具有最佳分辨效果,但仍无法区分晶体阵列边缘像素。最后,在1.5 mm光导基础上,对光导外围进行不同深度切割并插入电子自旋共振(ESR) 反射膜,实验表明全部切透且加入反射膜时,可以明显区分出边缘晶体单元。

Abstract: This paper employs YSO crystal arrays and MPPC arrays to construct a nuclear radiation imaging detector, investigating the key factors influencing the performance of MPPC array-based nuclear radiation imaging detectors, including front-end resistance networks, light guide thickness, and light guide edge cutting depth. Initially, through front-end electronics experiments, it is found that using symmetric charge division circuit (SCD) can improve image distortion issues and enhance signal-to-noise ratio. Subsequently, based on SCD, the impact of different thicknesses of light guides (0, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 mm) on imaging performance was studied.The results show that a thickness of 1.5 mm provides the best resolution. However, the edge pixels of the crystal array still cannot be distinguished. Lastly, building upon the 1.5 mm light guide, experiments cutting the light guide periphery to varying depths and insertingelectron spin resonance (ESR) reflective film demonstrats that complete cutting through with the addition of reflective film allows for clear distinction of edge crystal units.

Key words: MPPC array, YSO crystal array, nuclear radiation imaging detector, electronics, front-end resistance network, light guide thickness, light guide edge cutting depth
