Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of high-precision inertial sensors, and in particular relates to an adaptive proof mass charge control method and device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of high-precision inertial sensors, such as gravitational wave detection, in the direction of the non-sensitive axis, the displacement measurement module of the inertial sensor detects the relative displacement between the test mass (TM) and the satellite, and transmits the displacement change to the motion control module, applies feedback voltage to the corresponding plates around the test mass, and thus controls the test mass at the center of the inertial sensor. Therefore, it is possible to measure the non-conservative force acceleration caused by atmospheric drag, solar radiation pressure, and tidal force on the satellite during its in-orbit operation. In the direction of the sensitive axis of detection, the displacement measurement module of the inertial sensor detects the relative displacement between the test mass and the satellite with extremely high sensitivity, and transmits the displacement change to the satellite as a thruster, applying thrust to the spacecraft, so that the relative position between the test mass and the satellite remains unchanged, thereby achieving the satellite's follow-up movement of the test mass. At this time, the test mass block serves as an inertial reference for laser interferometry measurement, and gravitational waves are detected by measuring the change in displacement between the two.

[0003] However, high-energy particles and cosmic rays in space will cause the test mass to gradually accumulate charge, generating electrostatic forces with surrounding conductors and interfering with the measurement results. Therefore, the charge on the test mass needs to be controlled. Taking the charge management scheme used in LISA Pathfinder as an example, the process is to illuminate the test mass or the plate, and the photoelectric effect causes electrons to enter or escape from the sensitive probe, so that the surface charge quickly drops below the expected level. Because the space environment is disturbed and the physical properties of charging and discharging of metal conductors change over time, this scheme requires precise measurement of the charge of the conductor before implementing illumination, which poses a huge challenge to practical applications.
