Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of particle physics and high-energy physics experimental technology, and in particular to a charged particle beam telescope device and its method of use. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of particle physics and nuclear physics experiments, position detectors, as core detection devices, are used to accurately track and measure particle trajectories. Their performance directly determines the accuracy of particle trajectory reconstruction and the reliability of experimental data. With the increasing demands for detector resolution in high-energy physics experiments and the widespread application of new detectors (such as silicon pixel detectors and microstructured gas detectors), achieving high-precision calibration of position detectors has become a critical technical problem that urgently needs to be solved.

[0003] Currently, mainstream particle position detectors include silicon microstrip detectors, gas drift chambers, and scintillator detectors, which differ significantly 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 fundamental difference in principle leads to complex and difficult-to-uniformly evaluate inherent position resolution error characteristics in different detectors. Furthermore, minute deviations in detector manufacturing processes (such as silicon wafer etching precision and gas chamber uniformity) and performance degradation during long-term operation (such as radiation damage and material aging) further exacerbate the uncertainty in position measurement accuracy.

[0004] Existing position detector calibration methods suffer from the following technical bottlenecks: 1) They rely on simulation technology to establish error models, but the simplification of factors such as detector noise, environmental interference, and nonlinearity of signal readout electronics during simulation leads to significant deviations between calibration results and actual performance; 2) Manual calibration relies on operator experience, resulting in subjective judgment errors, especially lacking intelligent diagnostic capabilities for abnormal data from new detectors or under complex operating conditions. Therefore, a device is needed that can efficiently and accurately characterize position detectors, significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of particle detectors, and possessing significant scientific research and application value.

The position detection unit 2 includes a plurality of silicon pixel detectors 21, which can provide high-resolution position measurement of the charged particle beam.

[0059] Two trigger units 1 are respectively positioned upstream and downstream of the charged particle beam. These two trigger units 1 generate signals related to particle energy loss when the charged particle beam passes through, detecting the arrival of the charged particle beam. Several silicon pixel detectors 21 are arranged in a straight line between the two trigger units 1, with a station 22 positioned between every three silicon pixel detectors 21 to hold the measured position detector 23. This arrangement allows for the simultaneous measurement and characterization of multiple position detectors. The silicon pixel detectors 21 are used to acquire the spatial position signal of the charged particle beam as it passes through, as well as the energy loss as it passes through the silicon pixel detector 21, thus providing data for subsequent accuracy analysis.

[0060] The trigger processing unit 3 is used to receive signals from the trigger unit 1, generate trigger signals according to preset thresholds or logic, and send them to the signal acquisition and reading unit 4 to control the synchronous reading of data.

[0061] The signal acquisition and readout unit 4 is used to receive the spatial position signals of the charged particle beams from each silicon pixel detector 21 and the measured position detector 23, and to process the received signals based on the trigger signal of the trigger processing unit 3 to obtain the processed spatial position data of the charged particle beams.

[0062] The data processing unit 5 is used to analyze the spatial position data of the charged particle beam from the signal acquisition and readout unit 4, calculate the predicted position value of the charged particle beam when it passes through the measured position detector 23, and compare it with the actual position measurement value of the measured position detector 23 to determine the positioning accuracy parameter of the measured position detector 23.

The two Y-axis platforms 61 are arranged in parallel, and guide rails 63 are respectively provided on the top of each Y-axis platform 61. The X-axis platform 62 is slidably mounted on the two guide rails 63, and the motor drive mechanism is used to drive the X-axis platform 62 to slide on the guide rails 63.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment, the charged particle beam telescope device further includes a precision alignment and calibration unit 7, which is mounted on the support platform 6. This unit 7 is used to precisely align and calibrate the position detection unit 2, ensuring that the positional relationships of each silicon pixel detector 21 in the position detection unit 2 are known and accurate in the spatial coordinate system. During use, potential systematic errors can be eliminated by periodically calibrating each silicon pixel detector 21 in the position detection unit 2, ensuring the measurement accuracy of the device.

[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, several precision alignment and calibration units 7 are arranged at intervals on the X-axis platform 62. Each precision alignment and calibration unit 7 is equipped with a silicon pixel detector 21 or a measured position detector 23.

[0067] More specifically, each precision alignment and calibration unit 7 includes a fine-tuning base, a fixed mounting base, and a rotary adjustment stage arranged sequentially from bottom to top, forming a layered structure. The fine-tuning base is mounted on the support platform 6 and is used to provide micron-level linear position adjustment along the X, Y, and Z directions, ensuring precise displacement of the detector in the linear direction of space. The rotary adjustment stage is used to achieve fine-tuning of the detector's attitude around the X, Y, and Z axes (i.e., θx, θy, θz) to meet the high-precision adjustment requirements for the detector's mounting angle. The fixed mounting base is used to fix the silicon pixel detector 21 or the detector under test position 23.

[0068] More specifically, the precision alignment and calibration unit 7 can be adjusted manually or electrically. Furthermore, it can be combined with position feedback devices such as laser interferometers and photoelectric encoders to form a closed-loop control, thereby achieving precise alignment and position calibration of the detector.

[0069] More specifically, the fine-tuning base can be implemented using a spiral fine-tuning structure, a sliding rail displacement mechanism, or a piezoelectric drive device. The rotary adjustment stage can be constructed using a flexible hinge structure, a precision angle adjuster, or a universal adjustment platform. The fixed mounting base can be made of a high-rigidity metal structure with precision-machined mounting surfaces and positioning holes to ensure the stability and repeatability of the detector during adjustment.

[0070] In a preferred embodiment, the charged particle beam telescope further includes a device control and monitoring platform 8, wherein the device control and monitoring platform 8 includes an operation control module, a parameter configuration module, and a status monitoring module.

[0071] The operation control module is used to control the working mode and triggering conditions of the signal acquisition and readout unit 4.

[0072] The parameter configuration module is used to set the calibration parameters of the precision alignment and calibration unit 7, including the detector initial alignment position, position compensation factor and error correction coefficient.

The preliminary processing module amplifies and shapes the analog signals from each silicon pixel detector 21 and the measured position detector 23. The filtering and calibration module filters and calibrates the pre-processed analog signals to ensure data accuracy and consistency. The analog-to-digital converter converts 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.

[0076] The trajectory calculation module is used to calculate the precise trajectory of the charged particle beam in space based on the spatial position data of the charged particle beam corresponding to each silicon pixel detector 21 using a trajectory reconstruction algorithm.

[0077] The position prediction module is used to perform data fusion on the spatial position data of charged particle beams from different silicon pixel detectors 21, and calculate the predicted position value of the charged particle beams when they pass through each measured position detector 23.

[0078] The accuracy characterization module is used to determine the positioning accuracy parameters of the measured position detector 23 based on the calculated predicted position value and the corresponding actual measured position value. These parameters include, for example, calculating position resolution and positioning error. This module can characterize the positioning error and position resolution of the measured position detector 23 by using the mean and standard deviation of the statistical residuals, respectively. Furthermore, the accuracy characterization module can output accuracy evaluation indicators such as residual distribution curves and outlier ratios to comprehensively reflect the positioning performance of the measured position detector 23. The above statistical analysis can be implemented using histogram statistics, Gaussian fitting, or other statistical methods.

The trigger processing unit receives signals from the trigger unit, generates trigger signals according to preset thresholds or logic, and sends them to the signal acquisition and readout unit. Each silicon pixel detector and the detector under test acquires the spatial position signal when the charged particle beam passes through, and sends it to the signal acquisition and readout unit. The signal acquisition and readout unit processes the spatial position signal of the received charged particle beam based on the trigger signal of the trigger processing unit, obtains the processed spatial position data of the charged particle beam, and sends it to the data processing unit. The data processing unit analyzes the spatial position data of the charged particle beam, calculates the predicted position of the charged particle beam when it passes through the detector at the measured position, and then determines the positioning accuracy parameters of the detector at the measured position.
