[0053] To better illustrate the content of this invention, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the invention can be practiced even without certain specific details. In the embodiments, some methods, means, instruments, and devices well-known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail, in order to highlight the spirit of the invention.

[0055] The technical details are further illustrated below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0056] In some implementations, such as Figure 1As shown, the portable large-area αβ detection system includes: a signal detection unit 1 for detecting α and β radiation signals, a front-end processing circuit unit 2 for processing the detected radiation signals, and a main control circuit unit 3; a housing 4 is positioned above the signal detection unit 1, the front-end processing circuit unit 2, and the main control circuit unit 3; the housing has an opening at the bottom, and the signal detection unit 1 is located at the opening at the bottom of the housing 4; a handle 5 is connected to one end of the housing 4, and the handle 5 has an internal cavity containing a battery 6; typically, the housing can be made of plastic or metal; if a plastic housing is used, the inside of the housing needs to be coated with conductive paint to prevent external electromagnetic interference; an indicator light 41 is located at the front of the top of the housing, a display screen 42 is located in the middle, and a button 43 is located at the rear; a vibration motor 7 is located inside the housing 4 near the handle; wherein, the indicator light... 41 is an alarm indicator light; when the number of alpha or beta particles detected exceeds the set alarm threshold, this indicator light will flash red. Display screen 42 displays measured values, historical data, and menu information. Front-end processing circuit unit 2 amplifies and compares the electrical signal output from the detection unit, then outputs a level pulse signal. Main control circuit unit 3 controls the vibration motor, indicator lights, buttons, and display screen, and performs time analysis and counting statistics on the level pulse signal output from the front-end processing circuit unit. Button 43 consists of a power switch, a menu button, and a display interface switching button, used to operate the content displayed on the screen. The handle can be used for one-handed grip. Battery 6 powers the entire system. Vibration motor 7 is a vibration alarm component; when the number of alpha or beta particles detected exceeds the set alarm threshold, the vibration motor will vibrate to trigger an alarm.
[0057] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the signal detection unit includes:
[0058] Large-area composite scintillator 11; The large-area composite scintillator 11 is composed of a plastic scintillator layer 111 and a ZnS coating 112 attached to the surface of the plastic scintillator layer, and the surface of the ZnS coating 112 is covered with a light-shielding film 113.
[0059] In some embodiments, the thickness of the plastic scintillator layer is between 0.5 and 1 mm, the surface roughness Ra is between 0.005 and 0.02 μm, and the reflectivity to light with wavelengths of 380 to 750 nm is 90% to 95%.
[0060] In some embodiments, the light-shielding film is an aluminum-plated film with a thickness of 3~6μm;
[0061] Reflective chamber 12; The reflective chamber 12 has an inner reflective wall in the shape of an elliptical parabola. The reflective chamber 12 is disposed above the large-area composite scintillator 11, and a sealed light chamber is formed between the inner reflective wall of the reflective chamber 12 and the plastic scintillator layer 111 of the large-area composite scintillator 11.
[0062] Typically, the bottom edge of the reflective surface on the inner wall of a sealed light chamber is rounded, with the upper end of the rounded surface tangent to the main body of the reflective surface and the lower end perpendicular to the light-emitting surface, thus achieving the sealing of the light chamber.
[0063] With the geometric center of the plastic scintillator layer as the origin of the coordinate system, the elliptic parabolic shape of the inner reflecting wall is represented as:
[0064]
[0065] Where x and y are the horizontal coordinates, and z is the vertical coordinate;
[0066] Hemispherical lens 13; hemispherical lens 13 includes a planar end and a spherical end; hemispherical lens 13 is located at the geometric center of the reflection chamber 12, and the spherical end extends into the interior of the reflection chamber; typically, the area of the large-area composite scintillator is much larger than the projected area of the hemispherical lens.
[0067] The photoelectric converter 14 is located at the planar end of the hemispherical lens.
[0068] Typically, the photoelectric converter can be a photomultiplier tube (PMT) or a silicon photomultiplier tube (SiPM). One end of the hemispherical lens is flat, and the other end is spherical. The spherical end extends into the optical chamber, and the photoelectric converter is placed at the flat end. The photosensitive surface of the photoelectric converter is in close contact with the flat end of the lens and coupled with optical silicone grease. The sealed optical chamber is filled with air, and the inner wall of the optical chamber is an arc-shaped reflective surface used to collect as much light as possible emitted from the surface of the composite scintillator into the hemispherical lens. Generally, taking any point on the surface of the composite scintillator as a light source, after being collected by the lens, the uniformity of light collection from all points is greater than 50%. To achieve this goal, the shape of the inner wall of the optical chamber in this application is specifically designed. Simultaneously, the reflective surface uses an enhanced aluminum reflective coating, achieving a reflectivity ≥96% in the visible light band (380~750nm).
[0069] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the light chamber is shaped like an elliptic parabola, mathematically described as follows:
[0070]
[0071] The origin of the coordinate system is located at the geometric center of the composite scintillator surface, i.e., (0,0,0); the Z-axis is vertically upward, and the surface plane of the composite scintillator is located in the Z=0 plane; x and y are horizontal coordinates, with ranges of [-50,50] mm and [-85,85] mm, respectively.
[0072] In some embodiments, the shape of the elliptic parabola is as follows: Figure 3 As shown; the upper reflecting surface is an elliptic parabola, and the center of the hemispherical lens is located on the reflecting surface; the projection of the center of the lens onto the lower composite scintillator emitting plane coincides with the center of the composite scintillator emitting plane.
[0073] Typically, radiation particles incident on a composite scintillator deposit energy, causing ionization excitation of atoms (or ions, molecules) within the scintillator. The excited particles then de-excite, emitting scintillating photons with wavelengths close to visible light. The scintillator medium is transparent to its own emitted light and does not exhibit self-absorption. Specifically, the detection efficiency of a plastic scintillator layer for β-rays can reach 90%–99%, and with sufficient thickness, it also exhibits relatively high detection efficiency for γ-rays. To prevent γ-rays in the environment from depositing energy in the plastic scintillator and creating background counts, the thickness of the plastic scintillator is generally controlled between 0.5 and 1 mm to ensure that the β-ray background is below 15 cps. To prevent light loss from the optical chamber due to light loss on the inner surface of the plastic scintillator, the surface roughness Ra is required to be between 0.005 and 0.02 μm, with a reflectivity of 90%–95% (380–750 nm). The ZnS coating is applied to one side of the plastic scintillator by spraying. Since the range of alpha rays in ZnS is only a few micrometers, a ZnS coating with a thickness of a few tens of micrometers can achieve a detection efficiency of 95-99% for alpha rays. The light-shielding film is used to block visible light while minimizing the obstruction of alpha particles. Generally, an aluminum-plated film is used, and the thickness of a single layer is generally 3-6 μm.
[0074] In some embodiments, the front-end processing circuit unit includes a first-stage inverting proportional amplifier circuit module, a second-stage inverting proportional amplifier circuit module, and a hysteresis comparator amplifier circuit module connected in sequence.
[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, the first-stage non-inverting proportional amplifier circuit module includes: a first operational amplifier U1; a resistor R19 is provided between the inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the first operational amplifier U1; a resistor R24 is provided connected to the inverting input terminal, and the resistor R24 is grounded; a resistor R8 is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the first operational amplifier, and the resistor R8 is connected to the input signal; a resistor R6 is further provided between the resistor R8 and the resistors R4 and R5, wherein the resistor R4 is further grounded, and the resistor R5 is further connected to the positive voltage terminal of the first operational amplifier U1; the negative voltage terminal of the first operational amplifier U1 is grounded; the voltage amplification factor formula of the first non-inverting proportional amplifier circuit module is:
[0076]
[0077] The second-stage non-inverting proportional amplifier circuit module includes: a second operational amplifier U2; a resistor R12 is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier U2, and a capacitor C10 is connected to the resistor R12, with the capacitor C10 connected to the output terminal of the first non-inverting proportional amplifier circuit module; a resistor R15 is connected between the resistor R12 and the capacitor C10, and the resistor R15 is grounded; a resistor R20 is connected between the inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the second operational amplifier U2; a resistor R23 is connected to the inverting input terminal, and the resistor R23 is grounded; the positive voltage terminal of the second operational amplifier U2 is connected to power supply VCC_A, and the negative voltage terminal is grounded; the voltage amplification factor formula of the second non-inverting proportional amplifier circuit module is:
[0078]
[0079] The hysteresis comparator circuit module includes: a third operational amplifier U3; a resistor R14 is set at the inverting input terminal of the third operational amplifier U3, and the resistor R14 is connected to DAC_TH1; a resistor R7 is set between the non-inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the third operational amplifier U3, and the resistor R7 is further connected to a resistor R13, which is connected to the output terminal of the second non-inverting proportional amplifier circuit module; the positive voltage terminal of the third operational amplifier U3 is connected to the power supply VCC_A, and the negative voltage terminal is grounded; the sixth port of the third operational amplifier U3 is grounded.
[0080] Typically, the front-end processing circuit unit is used to distinguish between alpha and beta signals based on signal width, while preserving complete timing information while eliminating noise. Specifically, the first-stage inverting proportional amplifier module performs primary amplification of the signal from the photoelectric converter input at the sin terminal, and the second-stage inverting proportional amplifier module adjusts the amplification factor to the appropriate level.
[0081] Typically, the core function of a non-inverting proportional amplifier is to amplify the input signal without inversion, fully preserving the pulse widths of the α and β signals. The input signal is connected to the non-inverting input of the op-amp, and the output signal is fed back to the inverting input through a resistor divider, satisfying the ideal op-amp characteristics of "virtual short" (V+ = V−) and "virtual open" (input current is 0).
[0082] In the first-stage non-inverting proportional amplifier circuit module, Sin is the signal input terminal. Resistors R4, R5, and R6 form a DC bias circuit, which can realize the signal level boosting, raising the negative voltage part to the range of 0~Vcc. U1 is the first-stage operational amplifier, resistor R19 is the feedback resistor, and R24 is the inverting input terminal grounding resistor.
[0083] A capacitor C10 is used for coupling between the first-stage forward proportional amplifier circuit and the second-stage forward proportional amplifier circuit to remove the DC bias of the first-stage amplifier circuit output; resistor R15 is a grounding resistor used to discharge the charge of capacitor C10. Resistor R12 is a current-limiting resistor at the signal input terminal of the second-stage forward proportional amplifier circuit module, resistor R20 is a feedback resistor of the second-stage amplifier circuit, and R25 is a grounding resistor for the inverting input of the second-stage amplifier circuit.
[0084] In the hysteresis comparator circuit module, the pulse signal output from the second-stage amplifier circuit enters the positive input terminal of the third operational amplifier U3 after passing through the current-limiting resistor R13. DAC_TH1 is the comparison threshold voltage, which is controlled by the MCU and connected to the negative input terminal of the third operational amplifier U3 after passing through the current-limiting resistor R14. When the positive pulse signal voltage is higher than the comparison threshold voltage, the third operational amplifier U3 outputs a high level TIM0. Due to the presence of the positive feedback resistor R7, when the pulse signal is lower than the comparator threshold voltage, the output state of U3 does not change; instead, when the pulse signal voltage is lower than the comparator threshold voltage by a certain value, U3 outputs a low level. Therefore, this hysteresis comparator circuit module has two threshold voltages: an upper threshold U+ and a lower threshold U-. When the input signal is higher than the upper threshold, the output jumps to a high level. When the input signal is lower than the lower threshold, the output jumps to a low level. This dual-threshold design can avoid the output voltage generating multiple level pulse signals when the input signal has slight jitter near the threshold value, thereby improving the anti-interference capability.
[0085] Some embodiments of the portable large-area αβ detection system also include a main control circuit unit; the main control circuit unit is configured to process pulse signals output by a front-end processing circuit unit; the pulse signal processing method distinguishes α particles and β particles by comparing the widths of the level pulses; such as Figure 5 As shown, the time widths of the β and α signals differ. Under the same threshold, the pulse width of the α signal output by the comparator is greater than that of the β signal. Therefore, α particles and β particles can be well distinguished by measuring the pulse width.
[0086] Some embodiments of the portable large-area αβ detection system disclose a pulse signal processing method that specifically includes:
[0087] A pulse level signal was detected at the input terminal;
[0088] Determine if it is a high-level signal;
[0089] If not, continue to detect the input level signal;
[0090] If yes, the timer starts counting down and checks if the pulse width of the high-level pulse signal is greater than the time width threshold. If yes, it is determined to be an alpha particle, and the alpha channel accumulates; if no, it is determined to be a beta particle, and the beta channel accumulates.
[0091] By statistically analyzing the cumulative values of the β and α channels every 1 second, the cps values of α and β particles can be calculated.
[0092] The portable large-area αβ detection system disclosed in this invention achieves simultaneous detection of α and β rays on the surface of an object by employing a large-area composite scintillator; it achieves effective differentiation of α and β ray signals through a time-width discrimination method; and it enables detection of a large area by a single small-area photodetector through a specific light collection chamber, effectively reducing system cost and simplifying back-end circuitry and structure. The composite scintillator is solid-state and can operate without inflation, making it suitable for portable radiation detection.
