[0002] Positron annihilation is a non-destructive and sensitive probe for atomic-level defects in materials, offering unique advantages in studying the distribution and evolution of material defects. A positron annihilation lifetime measurement system is a non-destructive research method that utilizes the lifetime of annihilation radiation of positrons in condensed matter to study the internal microstructure, electron momentum distribution, and defect states of the material. It can be used to study the degree of damage to nuclear materials under different irradiation temperatures and doses, and to characterize and analyze the types and concentrations of micro-defects introduced by irradiation. However, in related technologies, positron annihilation lifetime measurement systems are used to measure positron annihilation in radioactive samples.

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0049] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0050] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0051] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0052] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

[0053] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.
[0054] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1This diagram shows a horizontal cross-sectional view of a positron annihilation lifetime measurement system according to an embodiment of this application. The positron annihilation lifetime measurement system 1000 provided in this embodiment includes: a housing assembly 1100 and a shielding layer 1200. The housing assembly 1100 includes an operating box 1110, which houses a radiation source 1111, an operating platform 1112, and a detector 1113. The radiation source 1111 is mounted on the operating platform 1112 and is used to emit positrons to a sample (not shown). The detector 1113 is mounted on the operating platform 1112 and is used to measure the positron annihilation lifetime. A shielding layer 1200 covers the outer surface of the housing assembly 1100 to shield the radiation generated by the radiation source 1111. The shielding layer 1200 is provided with a first access port 1222-1-1, which communicates with the inner cavity of the operating box 1110. A first shielding door 1222-1-2 is provided at the location where the first access port 1222-1-1 is located on the shielding layer 1200. The first shielding door 1222-1-2 is hinged to the shielding layer 1200 and can rotate around the hinge point between itself and the shielding layer 1200 to close and open the first access port 1222-1-1.
[0055] In this embodiment, the positron annihilation lifetime measurement system 1000 includes an operating box 1110 containing a radiation source 1111, an operating platform 1112, and a detector 1113. The radiation source 1111 is positioned on the operating platform 1112. The operator places the sample to be tested on the operating platform 1112, and the detector 1113 detects the positron annihilation lifetime emitted by the radiation source towards the sample. This allows the operator to determine the type of defects present in the sample. By providing a shielding layer 1200 covering the outer surface of the box assembly 1100, the positron annihilation lifetime measurement system 1000 can effectively detect positrons with radioactive content. When testing a radioactive sample, the shielding layer 1200 can be used to isolate the chamber assembly 1100 from the external environment, thereby preventing the radiation generated by the sample inside the chamber 1110 from spreading to the outside world and avoiding radiation exposure to external personnel. This ultimately achieves safe measurement of the radioactive sample. In summary, in this embodiment, by setting the shielding layer 1200 to cover the outer surface of the chamber assembly 1100, the chamber assembly 1100 is isolated from the external environment, which can prevent external personnel from being exposed to radiation from the radioactive sample and achieve safe measurement of the radioactive sample.
[0056] Please see Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments, the housing assembly 1100 includes a transition box 1120 and a connecting channel 1130. The transition box 1120 is spaced apart on one side of the operating box 1110, and the connecting channel 1130 is disposed between the operating box 1110 and the transition box 1120. The inner cavity of the operating box 1110 and the inner cavity of the transition box 1120 are connected through the connecting channel 1130. The transition box 1120 is provided with a connecting door 1121, which is hinged to the cavity wall of the transition box 1120 and can rotate about its hinge point with the transition box 1120. The connection channel 1130 is opened or closed. The shielding layer 1200 is provided with a second pick-up and drop-off port 1222-3-1, which is connected to the inner cavity of the transition box 1120. A second shielding door 1222-3-2 is provided at the location of the second pick-up and drop-off port 1222-3-1 on the shielding layer 1200. The second shielding door 1222-3-2 is hinged to the shielding layer 1200 and can rotate around the hinge point between itself and the shielding layer 1200 to close and open the second pick-up and drop-off port 1222-3-1.
[0057] In this embodiment, a transition box 1120 is spaced apart on one side of the operation box 1110. The inner cavity of the operation box 1110 and the inner cavity of the transition box 1120 are connected through a connecting channel 1130. A connecting door 1121 is hinged to the cavity wall of the transition box 1120 to open or close the connecting channel 1130. The second take-up and put-out port 1222-3-1 is connected to the inner cavity of the transition box 1120. The second shielding door 1222-3-2 is hinged to the shielding layer 1200 to close and open the second take-up and put-out port 1222-3-1. This allows staff to open the second shielding door 1222-3-2 and use mechanical equipment to place the lead container (not shown) containing the sample to be tested into the transition box 1120 through the second loading / unloading port 1222-3-1. Then, the second shielding door 1222-3-2 is closed, and the sample to be tested is removed from the lead container. When the negative pressure in the transition box 1120 is the same as the negative pressure in the operating box 1110, the connecting door 1121 is opened, and the sample to be tested is placed on the operating platform 1112 in the operating box 1110 through the connecting channel 1130. Finally, the connecting door 1121 is closed, completing the operation of placing the sample to be tested into the operating box 1110. As can be seen from the above analysis, the setting of the transition box 1120 ensures that the operating box 1110 does not need to exchange air with the outside during the process of placing the sample to be tested into the operating box 1110, thus avoiding the diffusion of radiation gas in the operating box 1110 to the outside and causing harm to the staff.
[0058] In some embodiments, the operating box 1110 is made of 06Cr19Ni10 stainless steel. The wall thickness of the operating box 1110 on both sides along its own gravity direction is greater than or equal to 30mm, and the wall thickness of the remaining boxes is greater than or equal to 5mm. The inner surface of the operating box 1110 is polished to a roughness of not less than Ra0.8μm. At the connection between any two adjacent boxes in the operating box 1110, the weld roughness is ground and polished to a roughness of not less than Ra1.6μm.

[0062] In some embodiments, the connecting door body 1121-1 is provided with a first protrusion 1121-3 on the side opposite to the first hinge 1121-2. The first protrusion 1121-3 is in concave-convex engagement with a first groove (not shown). The first groove is provided on the cavity wall of the transition box 1120 on the side close to the operation box 1110. The first protrusion 1121-3 is engaged in the first groove when the connecting door body 1121-1 closes the connecting channel 1130, and the first protrusion 1121-3 is disengaged from the first groove when the connecting door body 1121-1 opens the connecting channel 1130.

The first shielding portion 1221-1 and the third shielding portion 1222-1 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the operation box 1110 along the first direction.
[0064] In this embodiment, by setting the first shielding part 1221-1 and the third shielding part 1222-1, which are respectively set on opposite sides of the operation box 1110 along the first direction, the radiation generated by the sample to be tested inside the operation box 1110 can be prevented from diffusing from the operation box 1110 to the outside along the first direction.

[0067] In some embodiments, the third shielding portion 1222-1 extends along a second direction from the side of the operating box 1110 away from the transition box 1120 to the side of the operating box 1110 near the transition box 1120.
[0068] In some embodiments, a first pick-up / placement port 1222-1-1 is provided on a third shielding part 1222-1.

[0083] In some embodiments, the second pick-up and release port 1222-3-1 is disposed on the fifth shielding part 1222-3. The second pick-up and release port 1222-3-1 communicates with the inner cavity of the transition box 1120. The second pick-up and release port 1222-3-1 is provided with a third hinge 1222-3-3 on one side along the second direction. The second shielding door 1222-3-2 is hinged to the third hinge 1222-3-3 and can rotate around the hinge point between itself and the third hinge 1222-3-3 to open or close the second pick-up and release port 1222-3-1.

[0089] In some embodiments, the shielding layer 1200 includes a third shielding member 1223, which is disposed on the side of the transition box 1120 away from the operation box 1110 along the second direction. The third shielding member 1223 is connected to the first shielding part 1221-1 on one side along the first direction and to the fifth shielding part on the other side.
[0090] In this embodiment, by placing the third shield 1223 on the side of the transition box 1120 away from the operation box 1110 along the second direction, the radiation generated by the sample to be tested can be prevented from diffusing from the side of the transition box 1120 away from the operation box 1110 along the second direction to the outside.
[0091] In some embodiments, the third shielding element 1223 is made of Q235-B carbon steel and has a thickness of 110mm to meet the shielding requirements of 1Ci.
[0092] In some embodiments, the third shielding member 1223 is connected to the shielding cover plate 1210 on one side along the gravity direction of the operating box 1110, and to the shielding base plate 1230 on the other side.
[0093] In some embodiments, the shielding layer 1200 includes a fourth shielding member 1224. The fourth shielding member 1224 is disposed on the side of the operating box 1110 away from the transition box 1120 along the second direction.

The fourth shielding member 1224 is connected to the shielding cover plate 1210 on one side along the gravity direction of the operating box 1110 and to the shielding bottom plate 1230 on the other side.
[0094] In this embodiment, by placing the fourth shielding member 1224 on the side of the operating box 1110 away from the transition box 1120 along the second direction, the radiation generated by the sample to be tested can be prevented from diffusing from the side of the operating box 1110 away from the transition box 1120 along the second direction to the outside.

[0097] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, a first operation channel 1221-2 is provided on one side of the shielding layer 1200. The first operation channel 1221-2 includes a plurality of first operation ports 1221-2-1. Along the arrangement direction of the operation box 1110 and the transition box 1120, the plurality of first operation ports 1221-2-1 are arranged at intervals. Each first operation port 1221-2-1 is connected to the inner cavity of the transition box 1120. A first operation door 1221-3 is hinged to the shielding layer 1200 at the position corresponding to each first operation port 1221-2-1. Each first operation door 1221-3 can rotate around its hinge point with the shielding layer 1200 to open and close the corresponding first operation port 1221-2-1.
[0098] In this embodiment, by setting the first operating port 1221-2-1 to communicate with the inner cavity of the transition box 1120, the operator can wear shielding gloves and insert their hand into the inner cavity of the transition box 1120 through the first operating port 1221-2-1 to open the lead container containing the sample to be tested and remove the sample from the lead container. By setting multiple first operating ports 1221-2-1 to be spaced apart along the arrangement direction of the operating box 1110 and the transition box 1120, the operator can sequentially insert their hand into the inner cavity of the transition box 1120 through multiple first operating ports 1221-2-1 in the direction from the transition box 1120 to the operating box 1110 to move the sample to be tested along the direction from the operating box 1110 to the transition box 1120. The arrangement of the 20 is closer to the operation box 1110, which makes it easier for the staff to put the sample to be tested into the inner cavity of the operation box 1110 through the connecting channel 1130. By setting the shielding layer 1200 to hinge the first operation door 1221-3 at the position corresponding to each first operation port 1221-2-1, each first operation door 1221-3 can rotate around its hinge point with the shielding layer 1200 to open and close the corresponding first operation port 1221-2-1. This is to isolate the first operation port 1221-2-1 from the outside when the staff does not move the sample to be tested, thereby preventing the radiation generated by the sample to be tested from the first operation port 1221-2-1 from spreading from the transition box 1120 to the outside.
[0099] In some embodiments, the first shielding part 1221-1 is provided with a first operation channel 1221-2, which includes a plurality of first operation ports 1221-2-1.

[0101] In this embodiment, by providing a second operating port 1221-4-1 that communicates with the inner cavity of the operating box 1110, operators can wear protective gloves and insert their hands into the inner cavity of the operating box 1110 through the second operating port 1221-4-1 to move the sample to be tested within the operating box 1110. By providing multiple second operating ports 1221-4-1 spaced apart along the arrangement direction of the operating box 1110 and the transition box 1120, operators can sequentially insert their hands into the inner cavity of the operating box 1110 through multiple second operating ports 1221-4-1 in the direction from the transition box 1120 towards the operating box 1110 to move the sample to be tested closer to the operating platform 1112. The sample is moved in the direction of the test until it is placed on the operating platform 1112. A second operating door 1221-5 is hinged to each second operating port 1221-4-1 on the shielding layer 1200. Each second operating door 1221-5 can rotate around its hinge point with the shielding layer 1200 to open and close the corresponding second operating port 1221-4-1. This is to isolate the first operating port 1221-2-1 from the outside when the operator's hand is removed from the inner cavity of the operating box 1110 through the second operating port 1221-4-1, and to prevent the radiation generated by the sample from the test from the second operating port 1221-4-1 from spreading from the operating box 1110 to the outside.
[0102] In some embodiments, the first shielding part 1221-1 is provided with a second operation channel 1221-4.

[0104] In this embodiment, by ensuring that the inner wall of each first operating port 1221-2-1 is sealed to the outer surface of the corresponding operating glove 1221-6, radiation generated by the sample under test can be prevented from leaking to the outside through the gap between the inner wall of the first operating port 1221-2-1 and the outer surface of the corresponding operating glove 1221-6. Similarly, by ensuring that the inner wall of each second operating port 1221-4-1 is sealed to the outer surface of the corresponding operating glove 1221-6, radiation generated by the sample under test can be prevented from leaking to the outside through the gap between the inner wall of the second operating port 1221-4-1 and the outer surface of the corresponding operating glove 1221-6.

[0133] Please see Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments, the detector 1113 includes a starting gamma detector 1113-1, a first stopping gamma detector 1113-2, and a second stopping gamma detector 1113-3. The starting gamma detector 1113-1 is disposed on one side of the operating platform 1112 along the first direction and is used to detect the gamma rays generated by the cascade when the radioactive source 1111 emits positrons. The first stopping gamma detector 1113-2 and the second stopping gamma detector 1113-3 are disposed on both sides of the operating platform 1112 along the second direction, corresponding to each other. The gravity direction of the operating box 1110, the first direction, and the second direction are perpendicular to each other. The first stopping gamma detector 1113-2 and the second stopping gamma detector 1113-3 are used to detect the two annihilated gamma rays emitted in opposite directions after the annihilation of positrons.
[0134] In this embodiment, since the positrons generated by the radiation source 1111 are isotropically emitted into the inner cavity of the operating box 1110, some positrons enter the sample to be tested and are annihilated, while others do not enter the sample or penetrate it, ultimately annihilating in the wall of the operating box 1110. Annihilation of positrons in both the sample material and the wall material of the operating box 1110 will generate annihilated gamma photons. It is necessary to eliminate the influence of positron annihilation cases in the wall material of the operating box 1110 on the measurement. This is achieved by setting a first stop gamma detector 1113-2 and a second stop gamma detector 1113-3, which are correspondingly positioned in the operating box. Along the second direction on both sides of the platform 1112, since the two annihilation gamma rays generated by the annihilation of positrons on the wall of the operating box 1110 will not be detected simultaneously by the first stop gamma detector 1113-2 and the second stop gamma detector 1113-3, the above setting can eliminate positron annihilation cases in non-test samples by simultaneously detecting the two counter-emitted annihilation gamma rays generated after positron annihilation, screen out positron annihilation cases in the test samples, reduce the interference of positron annihilation cases in non-test samples on the detection results, and improve the detection accuracy of the positron annihilation lifetime measurement system 1000 on the test samples.
[0135] In some embodiments, the initial gamma detector 1113-1 is responsible for... 22 The 1.28 MeV gamma rays generated by the cascaded emission of positrons from the Na radioactive source are detected. The first stop gamma detector 1113-2 and the second stop gamma detector 1113-3 detect the two 0.511 MeV annihilation gamma rays emitted in opposite directions after the annihilation of the positrons, respectively.
