摘要:
GEM探测器的供电一般采用电阻链分压供电模式和多路分立供电模式，在低通量X射线下测量时区别不大，但是在高通量X射线时，电阻链分压供电模式会带来饱和效应引起工作电压的变化，造成探测器工作不稳定。本研究在高通量X 射线照射下，研究了有效面积为100 mm100 mm三层级联GEM探测器的有效增益(稳定性) 与不同高压供电模式的关系。通过测量不同分压电阻值(1, 2, 5 到30 MΩ)的实验研究，发现随着X 射线通量的增加，在电阻链分压供电模式下，出现了GEM探测器感应电极的读出电流饱和趋势，分析了可能导致饱和效应出现的原因。结果表明，当入射X射线在探测器上的有效吸收剂量不断增加时，电阻链供电模式需要调整分压单元电阻值，或者采用多路分立供电模式，从而避免因饱和效应引起的GEM探测器有效增益的变化，实现探测器稳定的工作状态。There are two methods of the HV power supply for the GEM detector. One is a HV channel divided by the resistive chain and the other is the several separate HV channels. In the smaller dose rate of X-ray, all of the methods are similar. When the dose rate increases, the resistive chain-dividing mode has more obvious saturation effect and the working voltage of the GEM detector is unstable. In the paper, a GEM detector with an effective area of 100 mm100 mm has been studied in the high dose rate using X-tube. The unit values in the divider resistance chain are set to 1, 2, 5 and 30 MΩ respectively in the test. With the resistive chain-dividing mode, the readout current of the GEM detector’s anode tends to saturate when the dose rate of X-ray increases,and the reasons of the saturation effect are analyzed. The results indicate that the effective absorbed dose of X-ray by the triple GEMs detector reaches to the pecific value and the divider resistance needs to re-select, even the several separate HV channels mode should be considered. It will keep the constant of the working voltage of the GEM detector without the saturation effect and gain variation and the performance of GEM detector is stable.
