Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shielding cabins, in particular to a large assembled polyethylene shielding cabin. Background Art
[0002] The detection of rare events in particle physics, such as dark matter and neutrinos, is a frontier of deep-Earth science, crucial for humanity's exploration of the nature of the universe. The prerequisite for conducting rare-event detection is an environment with extremely low cosmic ray flux and background radiation, typically achieved through the construction of deep-Earth laboratories.
[0003] Existing deep underground laboratories worldwide can be divided into two types: mine-type laboratories, such as the Kamioka Laboratory in Japan and the SNO Laboratory in Canada, utilize laboratories at the bottom of existing mining shafts. The other type, such as the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy and the Jinping Underground Laboratory in China, uses thick mountain cover to shield cosmic rays. Building upon these facilities, further shielding against cosmic rays and ambient radiation is a key research topic.
[0004] High-density polyethylene has a certain shielding effect on atmospheric neutrons and gamma rays. It is usually used as the outermost material of the radiation shielding device. Lead, high-purity oxygen-free copper, etc. are used inside to form a composite shielding cabin to ensure that the innermost material actually used for dark matter detection can be in the most "pure" environment. For example, the Chinese invention patent with publication number CN118407529A provides an outer protective body and construction method for a deep underground laboratory polyethylene solid radiation shielding device. This existing technology forms a solid radiation shielding cabin by enclosing a thick ground polyethylene board layer, a wall polyethylene board layer and a top polyethylene board layer. The ground polyethylene board The layer, wall polyethylene board layer and top polyethylene board layer are respectively composed of multiple layers of polyethylene sheets stacked at staggered seams; for the design of the polyethylene shielding cabin, it is usually required that the polyethylene shielding cabin is as thick as possible on each side, the gaps in the panels on each side of the cabin are as few as possible, and there are no through gaps on each side in the thickness direction perpendicular to the panel surface that can be penetrated by neutrons. However, in this existing technology, the structure of each side constructed by staggered stacking of multiple layers of polyethylene sheets can only meet the simple requirement of no through gaps, and the degree of weakening of cosmic rays and radiation penetration is limited; therefore, how to further improve the shielding performance of the polyethylene shielding cabin is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved.
