Microchannel plate (MCP) is an electron multiplier device with an ultra-fast time response
which can be directly used for the detection of charged particles. The gain of MCP has a large influence on the properties of the neutron detector.
Purpose
2
This study aims to investigate the gain of the MCP through theoretical simulation and experimental test.
Methods
2
First of all
a sub-ns time-response neutron detector based on recoiled proton and MCP was developed for experimental test.The Monte Carlo method was used to simulate the number of secondary electrons generated by a single electron multiplying on a single microchannel
and the electron gain of a single-chip MCP at different voltages was calculated. Then
the gain characteristics of two MCPs were studied by alpha particle experiments.
Results
2
The calculation results show that the theoretical gain of a single-chip MCP is consistent with the MCP factory inspection report. The experimental results show that when the supply voltage of each MCP is 800 V
the gain of double MCP is about 9.0×10

.
Conclusions
2
The method clarified in the paper is reliable and feasible
and provides a new technical approach for the study of MCP gain. It also provides a theoretical basis for studying the performance of MCP neutron detectors.
