在气体探测器研究中, 利用266 nm紫外激光的双光子电离物理机制使气体电离产生可测量的信号, 是一种重要的标定方法. 随着微结构气体探测器(MPGD)的不断发展, 用紫外激光标定来实现较高精度位置分辨率成为了一种研究需求, 对此有两个关键技术问题需要解决: 实验研究激光可测信号大小以及激光指向精度. 分析和模拟计算了紫外光电离信号大小和激光调光误差, 基于微结构气体电子倍增器探测器与266 nm波长激光束, 在工作气体Ar/CO2(70/30)中, 测量了不同光斑面积与输出信号的关系; 设计和研制了紫外激光调光系统, 实验测量了紫外光调光偏差. 模拟结果与实验结果对比分析表明: 紫外激光束作用于气体探测器, 探测器增益在5000, 前放增益为10 mV/fC时, 6 mm读出条宽输出信号幅度约400 mV; 在探测器内传播距离为400 mm时, 较短时间内(10—20 min)实验调光指向精度可以保证小于5′, 引入z向偏差最大可以达到0.33 mm, 对应z向漂移速度的测量相对误差为6.4 × 10 −4. 该研究为MPGD与紫外激光标定实验设计提供主要的设计参考.In the study of the gas detectors, it is an important calibration method to use the ultraviolet (UV) laser with two-photon ionization mechanism for producing ionized signal. In the last decades, micro pattern gas detector, especially gaseous electron multiplier and micromesh gaseous detector, has been widely used in high energy experiments. These kinds of gaseous detectors have the advantages of higher ion backflow suppression ability, smaller E × B effect and good radiation resistance under the relatively higher count rate environment. To obtain a higher spatial resolution with a UV laser calibration system in gaseous electron multiplier detector, two critical technical issues remain to be resolved: the measurability of the laser signal and the accuracy of the laser beam position. In this paper, the studies in simulation and experiment are conducted to discuss these two critical questions. In the simulation section, the simulation results provide an estimation of signal in the gaseous electron multiplier detector with UV laser of 266 nm wavelength in the mixture working gases of Ar/CO2 (70/30), and give an evaluation of the laser pointing accuracy and the possible relative error of the electron drift velocity. In the experiment section, a UV laser calibration prototype is designed and developed. A pulsed laser of 266 nm wavelength is used as a signal source, which has a Gaussian-like cross section with a frequency of 10 Hz. The experimental results indicate that the signal of the UV laser in a triple gaseous electron multiplier detector reaches 400 mV for a readout strip width of 6 mm, a gain of detector of 5000, and a gain of amplifier of 10 mV/fC. For the calibration laser, the angle accuracy is discussed and tested. The angle uncertainty of the laser can be kept under 5′, and the accuracy of the drift velocity can reach 6.4 × 10−4 with a shift of 0.33 mm in the z direction when the laser beam transmits a distance of 400 mm in the gas chamber. All of these results show that the laser beam specific parameters are the main reference for designing the prototype detector. According to the optimal parameters, a gaseous prototype detector will be tested in the next study.
