摘要
提出了一种基于CsI(Tl)闪烁晶体和面阵CCD器件、采用光纤和光纤面板进行光耦合及传输、以扇形束线阵扫描方式实现对X光高分辨探测的方案。CsI(Tl)晶体的尺寸大小将直接影响到晶体的发光效率及X光的高分辨探测,据此开展了蒙特卡罗模拟研究。模拟研究了X射线能量、X射线源到探测晶体的距离(源距)、CsI(Tl)晶体的厚度与X射线能量分布、全能峰效率与CsI(Tl)闪烁晶体转换效率之间的关系。结果表明,当X射线能量为120~450 keV, CsI(Tl)晶体尺寸厚度为0~1.5 cm变化时,全能峰效率的变化范围为31.34~96.74%,CsI(Tl)闪烁晶体的转换效率的变化范围为12.8~97.43%。可见,X射线的能量及CsI(Tl)闪烁晶体尺寸的厚度,是决定X光高分辨探测的重要参量,这对优化X光高分辨探测用CsI(Tl)晶体的尺寸设计具有一定的参考价值。
Abstract
A Xray detector, based on the CsI(Tl) scintillating crystal and areaarray CCD, using fiber and fiber optic plate to couple and transmit light with fanbeam linear array scanning, has been put forth. The luminescent efficiency and Xray high-resolution detection are directly influenced by the dimension of CsI(Tl) scintillating crystal, and Monte Carlo method is adopted to simulate the influences, including the relations between the energy of Xray, the distance between Xray source and the scintillating crystal, and the thickness of CsI(Tl) crystal and the Xray energy distribution, and then the whole energy peak efficiency and the transition efficiency. The results show that while the Xray energy is of 120~450 keV, and the thickness of CsI(Tl) crystal is 0.3~1.5 cm, the whole energy peak is within the range of 31.34%~96.74%, and the transition efficiency is within the range of 12.8%~97.43%. So, the Xray energy and the dimension of CsI(Tl) scintillating crystal are the most important parameters determining the Xray high resolution detection. It has certain referenced values to optimize the dimension design of CsI(Tl) scintillating crystal for Xray high resolution detection.
