Problems solved by technology

However, due to the large size of the photomultiplier, its fragility, and its low degree of integration and automation, the existing gamma-ray burst detectors have relatively high construction costs.
On the other hand, the background count of the rapidly developing silicon photomultiplier (Si-PhotoMultiplier, hereinafter referred to as SiPM) is too high when it is applied to the gamma-ray burst detector, which limits its promotion in the field of related radiation detection.
[0004] Because the cost of the existing PMT-based gamma-ray burst detector is too high, and the background count of the SiPM-based space telescope is too high, it is necessary to propose a digital time stamp with a small background count, a more flexible and compact structure, and low cost.

Abstract

The invention relates to a space telescope based on digital time marks. The space telescope comprises a scintillation crystal probe module, an SiPM simulation signal module, a multi-channel digital time module and a scintillation pulse signal processing module. Light signals and simulation signals are converted into digital signals at an early-most photoeletric conversion stage, and the digital signals are transmitted to a host computer or a signal processing unit in a compressed data bulk mode. According to the system, digitalization is realized at an early-most stage of avalanche diode response photons, advantages of relatively good time spatial resolution, small computational complexity, good repeatability, strong system adaptability and independence from light beam characteristics are realized, and inherent characteristics of the light beam data can be learned.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of high-energy physics and particle physics applications, astrophysics equipment and optoelectronics, in particular to a space telescope based on digital time stamps. Background technique [0002] A silicon photomultiplier is an array of avalanche diodes operating in counting mode. The micro-units (Mirco-Cell) that make up the array in the device are avalanche diodes that can quickly respond to photons. Since the number of acting photons is greater than 1 in most applications, it is necessary to make avalanche diodes into arrays to respond to different numbers of photons. In a short period of time, the number of cells responding to photons has a monotonic correspondence with the expected number of incoming photons. According to this corresponding relationship, measuring the number of micro-elements can indirectly reflect the current intensity of the incoming photon beam. [0003] Silicon photomultipliers have a wi...
