example 1

[0077] The parameters of data processing in this embodiment are listed here:

[0078] The actual system used in step (1) used LaBr crystal and Hamamatsu R9800PMT. The crystal size is 10.0 mm x 10.0 mm x 10.0 mm. The coupling surface of the crystal and the PMT is 100 surfaces, except for the coupling surface, the other surfaces are covered with metal. The sampling rate of the data acquisition system is 50Ghz, and the bandwidth is 16Ghz. Positrons with a radiation source of 511 keV annihilate gamma photons. The coincidence time is about 2ns, and the energy window is about 400-600keV.

[0079] Step (2) employs frontier discrimination of multiple voltage threshold parameters as atomic markers.

[0080] Step (3) increments the atomic time stamp one at a time, and each increment of the time stamp maximizes the temporal resolution. Stop adding additional LED leading edge thresholds when the increased time resolution is greater than 1ps.

Abstract

A time label combination method, comprising the steps: collecting data acquisition system digital measurement values and establishing a database for the measured values; identifying atomic time label quantities and shape fluctuation statistics; estimating a covariance matrix of each atomic time label; according to the least squares criterion, giving the time label combination. Also provided is a time label combination system, comprising a low-dose pre-acquisition data module, a digital identification module, a quantitative variance calculation module, and a time label combination parameter calculation module. By means of using the described time label combination method and system, system time resolution is effectively increased, and the invention is particularly suitable for nuclear instrument time acquisition.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of digital signal processing, photoelectric signal processing and nuclear detection, in particular to a method and system for combining event arrival time marks. Background technique [0002] In nuclear analysis fields such as positron lifetime spectrometers, positron angle-momentum correlation analyzers, nuclear detection fields such as double-coincidence high-energy particle discriminators, and medical imaging fields such as positron emission tomography (Positron Emission Tomography, hereinafter referred to as PET) , the working mechanism of the detector part is mainly divided into two types: one is to convert high-energy photons into lower-energy visible photons or ultraviolet photons through scintillators, and then convert visible light photons or ultraviolet photons into electrical signals through optoelectronic devices The other is to directly convert high-energy photons into electrical signals through semicond...
