The Taishan Antineutrino Observatory (TAO) is a satellite experiment of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO). TAO consists of a spherical ton-level Gadolinium-doped Liquid Scintillator detector and its main purpose is the precise measurement of the reactor antineutrino spectrum by detection of light produced in v̅e + p⟶ e + + n reaction, as a reference for JUNO. About 4,500 photoelectrons per MeV could be detected by instrumenting the sphere surface (∼10 m2) with state-of-the-art Silicon PhotoMultipliers (SiPMs), resulting in a sub-percent energy resolution. In this work we present the implemented architecture of the readout electronics based on low-noise, high-speed Front-End Boards (FEBs) connected to a 50×50 mm2 SiPM Hamamatsu tile, composed by 32 SiPM elements of 12×6 mm2 each, divided into two independent output channels. The overall 4,024 FEBs will be supplied through eight custom flanges that have to bring in about 1.5 kW. On the same flanges the 8,048 output signal cables are distributed and routed to the Front-End Controllers (FECs), based on Virtex Ultrascale FPGAs, able to manage up to eight 16-channel ADCs, for a total of 128 channels on a single FEC, with a maximum sampling rate of 250 MHz with 12-bit resolution. A dedicated trigger and data-acquisition system will filter and record occurring events, rejecting dark count events. We report the results of the characterization for the pre-production FEBs batch, following the main figures of merit defined for the experiment, showing single photoelectron resolution better than 13% and dynamic range up to 250 photoelectrons.

The DarkSide-50 (DS-50) experiment aims at the direct detection of weakly interacting massive particles. It is a dual-phase liquid argon time projection chamber (LAr TPC) where Dark Matter (DM), which constitutes five sixths of all matter in the universe, is expected to interact with an argon nucleus resulting in a nuclear recoil. A scintillation signal (S1) is produced as a result of the ionising events from the DM-Ar interaction. The impurities in LAr, such as O,2, N2, H2O, etc., at the ppm level, quench the scintillation photons, leading to a reduction in the observed lifetime of the triplet state. In this contribution, the effect of impurities on the triplet lifetime is analyzed for individual events using DS-50 data, with a primary focus on nitrogen, one of the candidates for the impurities in LAr hypothesized to cause a suppression of triplet lifetime. This is done by determining the lifetime of the triplet component with a known purity, which can be used as a reference for the purity level of argon used in current and future dark matter searches.

In this paper, we introduce a novel single amplification-stage Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detector (MPGD) that incorporates a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC)-based resistive electrode at the bottom of micro-groove structures, the micro-Resistive Groove (μRGroove) detector. The μRGroove shares a similar compact stack geometry with the micro-Resistive WELL (μRWELL) detector, but it distinguishes itself by employing a groove structure for charge amplification instead of a well. The top metal layer of the grooves naturally forms an array of strips. By incorporating additional 1-dimensional (1D) readout strips beneath the DLC electrode, a 2-dimensional (2D) strip-readout scheme can be easily implemented. Two prototypes of the μRGroove (10 cm× 10 cm) were manufactured in 2022 at CERN, and their performance was evaluated through X-ray and beam tests. The results indicate a gas gain > 104, an energy resolution of ~ 25%, and negligible charging-up effects for 8 keV Cu X-rays. Additionally, the detection efficiency was found to be ~ 95%, with a position resolution of ∼ 75 μm for 150-GeV/c muons. The μRGroove boasts a compact design and robustness against discharges. Furthermore, compared to the μRWELL, it offers cost savings in detector fabrication and yields significantly higher signal amplitude (approximately double) at the same gas gain. These attributes position the μRGroove as a promising candidate for large-area and low-material-budget tracking applications.

The micro gas chromatography columns (μGCs) were prepared for rapid breath analysis of gastric cancer. The synergistic effect of the specific surface area and the action of pore diameter on the separation capacity was investigated. The μGC-IL/UIO-66 was prepared using [P66614][Cl]/UIO-66 as the stationary phase. For comparison, the μGC-IL and the μGC-UIO-66 were prepared using [P66614][Cl] and UIO-66 as stationary phase, respectively. [P66614][Cl]/UIO-66 had a high specific surface area with a pore diameter distribution of 0.49 nm. The high specific surface area of [P66614][Cl]/UIO-66 improved the efficiency of adsorption and desorption, while the porous structure with an appropriate pore diameter acted as an efficient molecular sieve, synergistically enhancing separation efficiency. So compared to the μGC-IL and the μGC-UIO-66, the HETP of μGC-IL/UIO-66 was reduced by 68.2% and 22.6%, respectively. In the analysis of volatile biomarkers (acetone, benzene, n-hexane and toluene) for gastric cancer, the resolutions between adjacent peaks were 1.96, 2.13 and 3.67, which met the requirements for quantitative analysis (R > 1.5). The retention times of acetone, benzene, n-hexane and toluene were 0.72 min, 0.96 min, 1.33 min and 1.67 min, which enables rapid analysis. All may suggest that the μGC-IL/UIO-66 has a promising application in rapid breath analysis of gastric cancer.

This work details a Compton-scattering-based methodology, referred to as Backscatter Gating (BSG), for characterizing the time, energy, and position resolutions of long form factor organic scintillators using a single, fairly minimal measurement setup. Such a method can ease the experimental burden in scenarios where many such scintillator elements may need to be individually characterized before assembly into a larger detector system. A thorough theoretical exploration of the systematic parameters is provided, and the BSG method is then demonstrated by a series of experimental measurements. This “complete” characterization via the BSG method is novel, having previously been used primarily for energy resolution characterization. The method also allows for determination of the assembled scintillator's technical attenuation length and provides a means of verifying the presence or absence of flaws within the scintillator or its optical coupling.

Reference beta-particle radiation fields are well described in the standard series ISO 6980 issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). In its 2022/2023 edition, two new radiation fields are defined consisting of a radioactive 90Sr/90Y source and a 3 mm or 4 mm plastic absorber located 4 cm in front of the source — with the reference plane of the radiation field being located 20 cm from the source. In this work, the detailed method of how to implement and use these new radiation fields using a Beta Secondary Standard, BSS 2, is described. Furthermore, the influence of the position and thickness of the plastic absorber on the radiation field, i.e., on its spectral and angular distribution as well as on the dose rate, was investigated. It turned out that a change of position by one centimeter or a thickness change of a tenth of a millimeter result in significant changes of the dose rate (∼ 7 % to ∼ 10 %). Finally, the dependence of the angular and spectral distribution on the position and thickness of the absorber was investigated in detail.

During the past decade, many diagnostic instruments have been developed that utilize electronic pulse dilation to achieve temporal resolution in the sub-10 ps range. The motivation behind these development efforts was the need for advanced diagnostics in high-density physics experiments around the world. This technology converts the signal of interest into a free electron cloud, which is accelerated into a vacuum drift space. The acceleration potential varies over time and causes axial velocity dispersion in the electron cloud. This velocity dispersion is converted into time separation after electrons pass through drift space. Then, traditional time resolved methods were used to detect free electrons, and the effective temporal resolution was magnified many times. A gated microchannel plate (MCP) X-ray framing camera based on pulse-dilation technology has been designed and manufactured in the paper. Here, we discuss design details and applications of these instruments. The temporal resolution measured without using broadening technology is approximately 78 ps. When the excitation pulse is applied to the PC, the pulse dilation technique is used to increase the measured temporal resolution to 9 ps. The propagation speed of gated pulses in MCP microstrip lines was measured using fiber bundle method, which is approximately 1.8 × 108 m/s.

The propagation speed of gated pulses in MCP microstrip lines was measured using fiber bundle method, which is approximately 1.8 × 108 m/s.","PeriodicalId":507814,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Instrumentation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141700884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Korea invisible mass search (KIMS) experiment used CsI(Tl) crystals coupled with photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) to detect signals from weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) at room temperature. It is expected that combining CsI(Tl) crystals with silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) will enhance the detection performance. However, SiPMs must operate at low temperatures to reduce the dark count rate. In this study, we examined the temperature dependence of CsI(Tl) crystal properties, including light yield, α/β ratio, decay time, and pulse shape discrimination, before integrating it with a SiPM. The CsI(Tl) crystal was placed in a low-temperature chamber with a radiation source, and scintillation photons were detected by a PMT positioned outside the chamber. The response of CsI(Tl) to α-particles and γ-rays was examined across temperatures ranging from 10 K to 300 K.
韩国隐形质量搜索（KIMS）实验使用铯碘（Tl）晶体耦合光电倍增管（PMT）来探测室温下弱相互作用大质量粒子（WIMPs）的信号。预计将 CsI（Tl）晶体与硅光电倍增管（SiPM）相结合将提高探测性能。然而，硅光电倍增管必须在低温下工作，以降低暗计数率。在本研究中，我们在将铯碘(Tl)晶体与硅光电倍增管集成之前，研究了其特性（包括光产率、α/β 比、衰减时间和脉冲形状辨别）对温度的依赖性。将 CsI(Tl)晶体放置在一个带有辐射源的低温箱中，并通过放置在低温箱外的 PMT 检测闪烁光子。在 10 K 到 300 K 的温度范围内，对 CsI(Tl) 对 α 粒子和 γ 射线的响应进行了研究。
