Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of particle physics and high - energy physics experiments, and particularly to a charged particle beam telescope device and its usage method. Background Art

[0002] In the field of particle physics and nuclear physics experiments, as a core detection device, the position detector is used to accurately track and measure particle trajectories, and its performance directly determines the accuracy of particle trajectory reconstruction and the reliability of experimental data. With the continuous improvement of the requirements for detector resolution in high - energy physics experiments and the wide application of new detectors (such as silicon pixel detectors 21, micro - structure gas detectors, etc.), how to achieve high - precision calibration of the position detector has become a key technical problem to be solved urgently.

[0003] Currently, the mainstream particle position detectors include silicon microstrip detectors, gas drift chambers, scintillation detectors, etc., and there are significant differences in their technical principles and structural characteristics. For example, silicon microstrip detectors rely on the ionization effect in semiconductor materials to locate particle trajectories, while gas detectors calculate position information by measuring the drift time of ionized electrons in an electric field. This principle difference makes the inherent position resolution error characteristics of different detectors complex and difficult to evaluate uniformly. In addition, minor deviations in detector manufacturing processes (such as silicon wafer etching accuracy, gas chamber uniformity, etc.) and performance degradation during long - term operation (such as radiation damage, material aging, etc.) further exacerbate the uncertainty of position measurement accuracy.

[0004] The existing position detector calibration methods have the following technical bottlenecks: 1) Relying on simulation technology to establish an error model, but the simplified treatment of factors such as detector noise, environmental interference, and non - linearity of signal readout electronics during the simulation process leads to a significant deviation between the calibration result and the actual performance; 2) Using manual calibration, which depends on the operator's experience during the calibration process, there are subjective judgment errors, especially lacking the intelligent diagnosis ability for abnormal data of new detectors or under complex working conditions. Therefore, a device that can efficiently and accurately characterize the position detector is needed, which can significantly improve the accuracy and reliability of particle detectors and has important scientific research significance and application value.

The filtering and calibration module is used to filter and calibrate the preliminarily processed analog signals to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data. The analog-to-digital converter is used to convert the filtered and calibrated analog signals into digital signals for subsequent data analysis.

[0075] In a preferred embodiment, the data processing unit 5 includes a trajectory calculation module, a position prediction module, and an accuracy characterization module.
