Description

Positron annihilation life spectrometer based on silicon photomultiplier (SiPM)
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of positron annihilation life spectrometers, in particular to a positron annihilation life spectrometer based on a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM).
Background
Positron annihilation spectroscopy is widely used for solid physics and material science research. After entering a material sample, positrons lose energy in various forms, defects such as vacancies, dislocations and the like exist in the sample, the thermalized positrons are likely to stay at the positions to stop diffusion under the action of coulomb force, and finally electrons around the defects are annihilated. The lifetime of a positron may reflect the electron concentration at its annihilation site. Positron annihilation lifetime spectrometers are also one of several methods by which single-atom-scale defects can be detected.
With the development of semiconductor technology, silicon photomultipliers now provide an attractive alternative to PMTs. A silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) is a photosensor device that solves the problem of detecting, timing, and quantifying low optical signals to single photon levels. It combines the low light detection capabilities of a PMT, while providing all the advantages of a solid state sensor, as compared to conventional photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). SiPM features low voltage operation, insensitivity to magnetic field and high response uniformity. It also has the advantages of good energy linear response, fast pulse rise time, good position resolution, etc. SiPM is easy to package and suitable for being made into a multi-channel SiPM array, and in order to better match the light emission spectrum range of the SiPM, LYSO, LSO and LFS-3 scintillation crystals are selected to be coupled with the SiPM, LYSO, LSO and LFS-3 crystals, so that the high light yield and the short time resolution are achieved, and the excellent time performance is provided.
For radioactive elements22As the Na source, when22Positron is emitted when Na undergoes β + decay,22transition of Na to22Ne, and the excitation energy of the excited state is 1.28 MeV. Excited state is deactivatable by emitting 1.28MeV gamma photons22The ground state of Ne. Resolution time at time spectrometer 10-10In the second order, it can be considered that e is emitted during the nuclear transition process+And γ are performed simultaneously. In measuring positron lifetime, a gamma photon of 1.28MeV can serve as the initiation signal for positron generation. The gamma photons emitted by positron annihilation can be used as time signals for positron annihilation. The time difference between these two time signals is measured and the positron lifetime is obtained.
Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS) is one of the most basic applications of Positron Annihilation techniques. The conventional positron life spectrometer consists of a scintillation crystal, a photomultiplier, a high-voltage constant-ratio timing discriminator, a fast coincidence circuit, a delayer, a time-amplitude converter, an NIM case, a computer multichannel analyzer and a computer. As shown in fig. 1, two scintillation detectors, one as a start detector detects 1.28MeV gamma photons and one as a stop detector detects 511keV gamma photons. After the scintillation crystal detects gamma rays, the gamma rays are converted into scintillation light which passes through a photomultiplier to generate an over-current signal, a pulse electrical signal enters a constant ratio timing discriminator, the constant ratio timing discriminator discriminates the amplitude of an input signal on one hand, and the constant ratio timing discriminator discriminates the amplitude of the input signal on the other hand, and outputs a standard signal determined by a constant ratio timing method, wherein the amplitude of the input signal meets upper and lower thresholds. Then, dividing the signals into two paths of standard output signals in a constant ratio timing discriminator: one path of output positive signal is used for fast coincidence to trigger a door opening signal, and the other path of output signal enters a time-amplitude converter after time delay. After the fast coincidence output gate signal is sent to the time-amplitude converter, the time-amplitude converters of the two paths of standard signals convert the time difference into a signal in direct proportion to the amplitude, the amplitude is discriminated by the analog-to-digital converter or the multiple paths, the amplitude signal is converted into a numerical value file to be stored, and finally, a spectrum obtained by accumulating a plurality of events is a positron life spectrum.
A conventional positron life spectrometer usually comprises a scintillation detector consisting of a plastic scintillator or a barium fluoride crystal or a barium bromide crystal coupled with a photomultiplier, and the scintillation detector serves as a starting detector and a stopping detector of the life spectrometer, but the detectors have certain defects. Although the plastic scintillator emits light quickly and has a small attenuation constant, the plastic scintillator has low detection efficiency for gamma photons. The barium fluoride scintillator has short decay time and larger density, but still has luminescent components with long decay time, and is easy to accumulate under the condition of high counting rate; the Brolan crystals are easy to deliquesce, have requirements on the temperature and humidity of the environment, and are not suitable for long-term use.
The high voltage of a photomultiplier tube required by a scintillation detector in a life spectrometer is different from several kilovolts, although the response time is very fast, the single photon detection capability is weak, and the excellent time resolution capability cannot be realized. Second, the external environment also affects the performance of the PMT. The changes of temperature and humidity and the existence of vibration have influence on the operation of the PMT; in addition, the external magnetic field has a large influence on the PMT, and the gain can be greatly reduced by the magnetic field of a few gauss.
