Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of diagnostic technology for solid-state tritium-containing materials in nuclear fusion, and specifically relates to a BIXS method for analyzing tritium-containing samples of unknown thickness. Background Technology

[0002] Accurate measurement of tritium content and depth distribution in materials is one of the core technological requirements across the entire nuclear fusion energy research and development chain. It plays an irreplaceable role in the design, construction, and decommissioning of key equipment such as tritium breeder blankets and tritium processing and recovery systems in fusion reactors, as well as in the performance evaluation and safety analysis of key tritium-containing materials such as fusion targets and first wall materials. The depth distribution of tritium in materials not only reflects its deposition or infiltration process but also reveals the material's tritium retention characteristics. For example, in nuclear fusion devices, the amount of tritium residue on the surface of plasma materials affects the stability of subsequent plasma, while the distribution within the bulk phase is related to the material's tritium storage capacity. By obtaining depth distribution information, material selection can be optimized, surface treatment processes improved, and the risk of tritium retention reduced.

[0003] Tritium β decay produces a continuous electron energy spectrum with a maximum energy of 18.6 keV. After the material absorbs tritium, the tritium... Decaying electrons interact with tritium-absorbing materials to produce external bremsstrahlung (EB) and characteristic X-rays. During the β decay process, tritium also emits a photon with a certain probability, which is internal bremsstrahlung (IB).

[0004] Beta-ray induced X-ray spectrometry (BIXS) is a non-destructive analytical method that analyzes the tritium content and depth distribution in materials by detecting the X-ray energy spectrum generated by tritium decay beta rays. Compared with conventional tritium analysis methods, BIXS has a greater analytical depth, with an analytical depth of ~0.1 mm for high-Z elements and up to 1 mm for low-Z elements. BIXS analysis has been applied to the analysis of tritium content and depth distribution in solid and liquid materials in nuclear fusion devices.

[0005] There are three types of BIXS analysis methods: the analytical BIXS analysis method proposed by Matsuyama et al., the Monte Carlo BIXS analysis method proposed by Anzhu et al., and the semi-analytical BIXS analysis method proposed by Huang Hong et al.

[0006] The analytical BIXS method, developed by Matsuyama et al., relies on semi-empirical formulas to obtain the X-ray energy spectra of tritium β decay at different depths. It mainly consists of three steps: assuming an initial tritium depth and analytically obtaining the tritium β decay electron energy spectrum; analytically converting the tritium β decay electron energy spectrum to an X-ray energy spectrum; analytically attenuating the X-rays at different depths and obtaining the total attenuated tritium β decay X-ray energy spectrum; comparing the analytical X-ray energy spectrum with the experimental spectrum; if the experimental and analytical spectra are consistent, the current tritium depth distribution information is considered the actual tritium depth distribution information; otherwise, the tritium depth distribution information is modified and the iteration continues. However, the analytical BIXS method proposed by Matsuyama et al. cannot account for geometric complexity and the scattering of electrons and photons within the material during the analytical process, resulting in inaccurate calculation results.

[0007] The Monte Carlo BIXS analysis method, proposed by An Zhu et al., uses the Monte Carlo (MC) program to simulate and obtain the X-ray energy spectrum of tritium beta decay at different depths. The MC program accurately models the spectrum, fully considering geometric complexity and electron and photon scattering issues. However, because the Monte Carlo program is based on mathematical statistics and probability, and the detector solid angle of BIXS experimental setups is typically small, obtaining simulated X-ray energy spectra of tritium beta decay with small statistical errors requires a large computer cluster and results in long computation times. Therefore, the overall analysis time of the MC BIXS method is long and its efficiency is low.

[0008] The semi-analytical BIXS analysis method proposed by Huang Hong et al. combines the advantages of the Matsuyama analytical method and the Yasutaka Monte Carlo simulation. It simulates the spatial distribution of electrons and characteristic X-rays through the Monte Carlo program and replaces the time-consuming part of the MC BIXS method with analytical methods, thus significantly improving the analysis efficiency while ensuring computational accuracy.

[0009] All three existing BIXS analysis methods require prior knowledge of the actual tritium distribution thickness within the sample, then dividing the actual tritium distribution thickness into M layers, and finally obtaining the X-ray energy spectrum of each layer containing tritium individually.

[0010] It is the total energy spectrum of tritium beta decay X-rays received by the detector. It is the X-ray energy spectrum of each layer containing tritium individually. This refers to the depth distribution of tritium. Existing BIXS analysis methods typically require obtaining sample thickness in advance using other measurement methods before sample stratification, significantly reducing the efficiency of BIXS analysis. For tritium-containing samples with unknown thickness, existing BIXS methods cannot directly measure them. The patent "An Efficient Tritium Analysis Method, Apparatus, Device, and Storage Medium" (Patent No.: ZL 2021 1 1188910.3) proposes an efficient tritium analysis method, apparatus, device, and storage medium. It uses a trained tritium analysis calculation model to predict tritium content and sample thickness. However, constructing this model requires a large amount of tritium β-decay X-ray energy spectrum data and the corresponding relationship between tritium depth distribution and sample thickness, making the construction process time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0011] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a BIXS method for the analysis of tritium-containing samples of unknown thickness, to address the shortcomings of existing BIXS analysis methods that require prior knowledge of sample thickness, and to quickly obtain the tritium depth distribution and thickness information of tritium-containing samples.

It is the first The X-ray count or count rate in the j-th channel of the tritium β decay X-ray energy spectrum when the layer contains only tritium.

Then, the true thickness of the tritium-containing sample is obtained based on the calculation results. Finally, the true tritium depth distribution is obtained by inverting the calculation again using the obtained true thickness and the energy spectrum matrix and experimental energy spectrum.

[0033] Example 1: like Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a BIXS method for analyzing tritium-containing samples of unknown thickness. It includes the following steps: S1. Divide the tritium-containing sample with an unknown actual tritium absorption depth t into M layers from top to bottom; when layering the tritium-containing sample, use either uniform or non-uniform layering methods. The thickness of the tritium-containing sample is used This means that, in the absence of an known actual tritium absorption depth t, the thickness range of the stratification should be as large as possible to ensure that the thickness range of the stratification is greater than the actual tritium absorption depth t.

[0034] S2. Obtain the X-ray energy spectrum of tritium β decay when each layer in layer M contains tritium alone, and construct an energy spectrum matrix. The methods for obtaining the X-ray energy spectrum of tritium β decay when each layer contains tritium alone are the Monte Carlo simulation method and the analytical method.

[0037] These represent the X-ray energy spectra of tritium β decay when the M1 layer contains only tritium. .

[0038] It should be noted that the tritium-containing sample mentioned in this method refers to a solid thin tritium-containing sample containing a substrate or a thick solid tritium-containing sample, including solid samples containing tritium such as titanium tritide, zirconium tritide, and tungsten tritide.

[0039] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the following is a practical example, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in step S1, the tritium-containing sample is uniformly divided into M layers from top to bottom; however, only layer M1 actually contains tritium. In this embodiment, the tritium-zirconium ratio is 1.5, and the thickness is 4.94 mm. of Taking the sample as an example, M equals 20, the thickness of each layer is 0.494 μm, and M1 equals 10.

[0040] When the actual tritium absorption depth t is unknown, the thickness range of the layer should be as large as possible to ensure that the layer thickness range is greater than the actual tritium absorption depth t. In this embodiment, the layer thickness is 9.88 μm, and the actual tritium absorption depth t is 4.94 μm.

[0053] Figure 8 In the embodiments of the present invention, it is composed of Figure 7 Comparison of fitted X-ray energy spectra of tritium obtained from the depth distribution in the middle layer with experimental energy spectra.

[0054] from Figure 8 As can be seen, the fitted X-ray energy spectrum is in excellent agreement with the experimental energy spectrum, proving the feasibility of the present invention.

[0055] Technical principle: Step 1: The original sample only contains 10 layers of tritium. First, the energy spectrum matrix of 20 layers and the experimental energy spectrum are used to invert and calculate the depth distribution of the 20 layers. The calculation result shows that only the first 10 layers have counts, and the last 10 layers are equal to 0 or close to 0. Thus, we obtain the true thickness of the tritium-containing sample (only 10 layers). Step 2: The energy spectrum matrix of the first 10 layers and the experimental energy spectrum are used to invert and calculate again to obtain the true depth distribution of tritium in the first 10 layers.

[0056] It should be noted that this embodiment can use plotting tools such as MATLAB, Excel, and Origin to process the data files output by Monte Carlo programs (such as PENELOPE), and this embodiment does not limit the software type of the plotting tool.
