摘要:BackgroundPtychography technology has been applied widely nowadays, and has made great achievements in the fields of materials, energy and life sciences. Traditional Ptychography 3D imaging is based on the computational tomography technology with multi-angular projection which has the disadvantages of low-efficiency and high-dose. The emerging multi-slice 3D imaging approach opens up a new way for high-efficiency low-dose 3D imaging.PurposeThis study aims to improve the reconstruction convergence and imaging quality of the multi-slice ptychographic tomography with emphasis on the effect of the illumination divergence degree on the reconstructed image of this approach.MethodsFirst of all, a numerical simulation method was employed to optimize the relaxation parameters. Then the effect of divergence of incident X-ray on reconstruction quality of multi-slice method was investigated by simulation experiments. Finally, the reconstructed images were compared directly with the ground-truth original images, and an error metric was calculated for monitoring the convergence of the reconstruction and measuring the quality of the reconstructed image.ResultsIt was found that the higher the divergence degree of the incident beam, the faster the iterative reconstruction converges, and the better the reconstructed image quality.ConclusionThe choice and setting of the focusing optical devices are significant in multi-slice ptychographic tomography experiments, a zone-plate with a smaller outermost zone width or an X-ray beam with lower energy in such experiments are helpful to obtain a better imaging quality by using multi-slice 3D ptychography approach.

摘要:BackgroundThe image retrieval algorithm of ptychography is a kind of conventional gradient descent algorithm. This algorithm begins with a set of guessing functions, and the signals collected in the experiment are continuously input into the iteration process to achieve final convergence. However the reconstructed process often falls into stagnation because of the low gradient around the local minima and the extent of the gradient descent is too small.PurposeThis study aims to solve the convergence stagnation problem of conventional gradient descent algorithm by using momentum ptychographical iterative engine (mPIE).MethodsThe concept of "momentum" was introduced into the ptychography algorithm to update conventional algorithm, called the momentum ptychographical iterative engine (mPIE). Adding momentum to an algorithm means that the iterative process has the characteristic of inertance. The extent of gradient descent relies on the previous steps and the gradient of current step. With the momentum, convergence can escape stagnation, and the reconstructed process can continue even around the local minima with a gradient is very small. The same set of coherent diffraction imaging experimental data was used to test the reconstructed image quality of mPIE algorithm and compare with that of extending ptychographical iterative engine (ePIE) algorithm.ResultsThe experimental results showed that mPIE algorithm outperformed ePIE algorithm with smaller convergence value of objective function, and better final reconstructed image quality.ConclusionThe result indicates that a better reconstructed result can be achieved with mPIE algorithm compared with the traditional ePIE algorithm.
摘要:BackgroundThe water-cooled crystals at Shanghai synchrotron radiation facility (SSRF) are currently vacuum sealed by colloid bonding. In high-energy synchrotron radiation environments, the colloid is prone to failure that will cause the crystal to flake off.PurposeThis study aims to introduce the recommended sealing method to avoid the above risks.MethodsWater-cooled crystal sealing structure was applied to mechanical clamping mechanism. Experimental tests were conducted to obtain surface error in meridian direction of crystal caused by mechanical load and rocking curve. In addition, the water pressure resistance test and leak detection test of the mechanically sealed water-cooled crystal were carried out.ResultsThe slope error of the crystal caused by mechanical load is approximately 3.55 μrad (root mean square) which satisfies the performance requirements. Rocking curve test shows that the value of full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the water-cooled crystal of the mechanical sealing structure is 11.86″ which is nearly the same as the FWHM value of 12.24″ of the water-cooled crystal under the original bonding mode, and the difference is about 3%. The results of water pressure resistance and leak detection tests show that the sealing performance of the crystal assembly structure is pretty good.ConclusionsThe water-cooled crystal sealed by mechanical clamping can meet the performance requirements, and it can effectively avoid the occurrence of peeling off event of crystal during work, and provided the necessary guarantee for the stable operation of beam lines at SSRF.

摘要:BackgroundAs nuclear detectors become more and more channels with smaller and smaller volume, front-end electronics tends to adopt CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) ASIC designs. The ASIC has low power consumption, small parasitic capacitance and small size, hence the power supply has a tendency to integrate at the front end.PurposeThis study aims to design a new kind of low-dropout (LDO) structure that is suitable for the front-end power supply of nuclear detectors and robust to the process and has no capacitance.MethodsBased on the classical low-dropout (LDO) structure, complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process using IBM 130 nm process was employed to realize the new LDO structure. A novel LDO robust to external capacitance value and equivalent series resistance (ESR) was obtained. This comprehensive performance of the design has the advantage of strong robustnes to load capacitance, hence is siutable for the front end of the nuclear detector.ResultsIts recovery time of the transient response is less than 400 ns and the drop out voltage is below 200 mV. All these futures are especially suitable for the front end, which is often a hybrid circuit.ConclusionThis design is used for the cylindrical gas electron multipliers (CGEM) of BESIII update project, it is also the technical reserve for the power supply of third generation pixel detector in large hadron collider (LHC).
摘要:BackgroundSilicon carbide is considered as a representative wide band gap semiconductor material for high temperature and radiation resistance devices due to its physical properties of wide band gap and high threshold displacement energy.PurposeThis study aims to investigate the effects of irradiation on the electrical properties of the 4H-SiC Schottky diode detector and the energy resolution of the α-particle response.MethodsThe 4H-SiC Schottky diode detector was irradiated with 60Co source gamma-rays. The forward current and reverse bias voltage of the detector were observed. [Results & Conlusion] After γ-rays irradiation with total absorbed dose of 1 000 kGy, the forward current of the detector decreases by three orders of magnitude compared with that before irradiation. The reverse current value does not change at 0~120 V bias voltage. When the reverse bias voltage is higher than 120 V, the reverse current value changes obviously. At the same time, there is no significant change in the energy resolution of α-particle before and after irradiation.

摘要:BackgroundIn severe accidents, the oxidation behavior of fuel cladding and other metallic materials in core region with steam, and the molten corium-concrete interaction (MCCI) are important source items for releasing hydrogen.PurposeThis study aims to investigate the sensitivity of the hydrogen mole fraction limit for ignition in the containment to prevent the hydrogen deflagration and explosion.MethodsThe integrated contamination model has been built systemically in large power passive pressurized-water reactor (PWR) using the latest version of MELCOR2.2 code, and the sensitivity analysis of hydrogen molar fraction limit for ignition has been carried out.ResultsThe analysis results show that: 1) the higher hydrogen mole fraction limit setting the more obvious pressure peak generated by a single combustion; it will cause the hydrogen deflagration and detonation if the value exceeds the mole fraction limit; 2) the hydrogen ignition is affected by other noncondensible gases to a certain extent. The increase of carbon monoxide molar fraction escalates the hydrogen ignition and, conversely, the carbon dioxide and steam dilute the flammable gases.ConclusionHydrogen ignition is greatly affected by the ignition limit of hydrogen molar fraction, and as an important factor, the other noncondensible gases components in containment are non-negligible. Therefore, it is crucial to combining and diluting the combustible gases for eliminating the potential risk in containment.

摘要:BackgroundVertical rectangular narrow flow channel has been widely used in engineering field due to its good heat transfer effect and compact structure. While the study on onset of nucleate boiling (ONB) site in vertical rectangular flow channels is very limited.PurposeThis study aims to figure out the effects of inlet fluid temperature, mass flux and channel height by experiment in the vertical rectangular flow channels with 1.8 mm and 2.8 mm gaps respectively.MethodsVisualization method was employed to observe the bubble growth and wall superheat at the ONB point under subcooled boiling condition. Deionized water was used as the working medium, a high-speed camera was used to photograph the growth process of bubbles and the temperature of the backing plate was recorded by thermocouples.ResultsIt was found that the inlet temperature, mass flux and channel height had the same effects on the bubble growth and the wall superheat at the ONB point in the two flow channels. The bubble size of ONB point in two flow channels increases with the increase of the inlet temperature, and decreases with the increase of mass flow rate.ConclusionsUnder the condition of constant mass flow rate, the flow channel height has no significant effect on the bubble size at ONB point. The superheat degree of the ONB point in two flow channels decreases with the increase of inlet temperature and increases with the increase of the mass flow rate. The relationship between the wall superheat of ONB point and the heat flux is not affected by the flow path height and it can be predicted by the empirical formula in literature.
摘要:BackgroundThe radiation dose mainly comes from the activation of different metal materials after fusion experimental facility shut down.PurposeThis study aims to analyze the radionuclides generated by activated materials, so as to help ensure the safety of personal doses during equipment maintenance.MethodsActivation experiments of the common metal materials were carried out. Associating with total peak area method, Wasson method and curve fitting method, the energy spectra measured by high purity germanium γ spectrometer were analyzed.ResultsThe results show that the irradiated metal samples contain artificial radionuclides, and the detector count rate is closely related to the irradiation position. Wasson peak area method has higher computational accuracy for weak peak area compared with other two methods.ConclusionsIf the activation of the bio-shielded wall is not taken into account, the radiation dose in the hall of the EAST facility is contributed mainly by 56Mn, 99Mo, 76As, 64Cu, 51Cr, 58Co, 59Fe, 54Mn, 60Co and et al radionuclides after device shut down.
