摘要

随着微结构气体探测器的不断发展, 不同的探测需求相继提出.为了实现气体探测器在高增益和低打火率的条件下长时间稳定工作, 结合气体电子倍增器(GEM)与微网结构气体探测器(MicroMegas)的探测优势, 成功研制出一种基于GEM作为预放大的MicroMegas探测器, 详细介绍了探测器结构和工作原理, 并利用55Fe放射源对探测器增益、打火率、能量分辨和工作稳定性等性能进行了实验测量. 分析结果显示GEM-MicroMegas探测器可以连续工作30 h 以上, 探测器增益可以超过106, 相对于无GEM膜的MicroMegas探测器, 相同增益下打火率可以降低近100倍.

Abstract

With the continuous development of the micro-structure of gas detectors, many different new detection requirements have been proposed. For more stable working time, lower discharge rate with long term and high effective gain, a new structure detector has been designed. Combined with the detection's advantages of MicroMegas and gas electron multiplier (GEM), it is composed of a MicroMagas chamber with one GEM foil as preamplifier. In this paper, the structure of the detector and detection principle are presented in detail. Using a 55Fe X-ray radioactive source in the operation mixtures gas of argon and isobutene (Ar/Iso =95/5), the performances of the detector gain, discharge rate, energy resolution and stable working time are investigated. Compared with standard MicroMegas detectors with no GEM foil, our detector show that a stable working time could reach more than 30 h of continuous work, the gain of the detector could exceed 106 and the discharge rate could be reduced by nearly 100 times at the same gain.
