摘要:BackgroundThe main body of the high energy photon source (HEPS) storage ring contains 288 pre-collimating units. Due to the smaller size of the magnets in the cells, the positioning accuracy of magnets is required to be 3~5 times higher than that in previous projects.PurposeThis study aims to improve the accuracy of magnet pre-collimation and explore the high measurement accuracy and positioning accuracy of the unit magnet in the pre-collimation experiment.MethodsThe influence of multi-path laser layout schemes on the accuracy of magnetic pre-collimation was firstly simulated by combining the multichannel laser interferometry system with the magnet pre-collimation technology. Then, the simulation software MATLAB was used to optimize the layout scheme of "three high and one low" with the minimum standard deviation of the measured target point as the objective. Finally, four Leica AT960 laser trackers were employed for experimental verification of the measurement accuracy.ResultsThe results show that the standard deviation of the measured target point is less than 10 μm in the space range of 12.1 m×5.97 m×3 m, and the measurement accuracy is significantly improved compared with that of a single laser tracker.ConclusionsThe designed project meets the experimental working conditions and design requirements, it lays a foundation for subsequent beam center calibration and magnet calibration.
摘要:BackgroundThe quality of the experimental data is closely related to the optimal optical conditions of the end-station in the small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) beamline (lower scattering background, accurate beam intensity before and after the sample, etc.). At present, the optical conditions of the end-station are manually optimized in SAXS beamline (BL16B1) of shanghai synchrotron radiation facility (SSRF), which can not utilize the user's time effectively.PurposeThis study aims to design and implement an automatic calibration procedure with Python on the platform of EPICS (experimental physics and industrial control system) and CSS (control system studio).MethodsFirstly, the direct beam was searched and targeted using slit blades scanning, and then beam center was automatically optimized according to the single-objective and multi-objective optimization methods of genetic algorithm, the calibration is not completed until an optimal scattering background image is obtained.ResultsThe results show that the automatic beamline calibration system can complete the motors optimization of slits and beamstop in 30 min, much faster than manual operation.ConclusionsProposed automatic calibration system simplifies the optical path optimization of experimental station and improves the automation of the SAXS beamline station at SSRF.

摘要:BackgroundMetal-oxide interface plays critical roles in promoting the catalytic activities of metal catalysts in a vast diversity of reactions. Maximizing this interfacial interaction so as to optimize the catalytic performance is an active subject of research that is worthy of intensive exploration.PurposeThis study aims to develop new Pt-group catalysts that are highly active towards cryogenic CO catalytic oxidation, and explore effective strategies to engineer metal-oxide (hydroxide) interfaces to weaken the adsorption of CO and to enhance the adsorption/activation of O2.MethodsSupported ultrasmall Pt nanoclusters (Ptnc-FeOx/SiO2) of (1.4±0.2) nm were synthesized using deposition-precipitation with urea (DPU). The catalytic performance towards CO oxidation was examined by using a fixed-bed U-shape flow quartz reactor. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) techniques were combined to study the Ptnc-FeOx interfacial interaction.ResultsThe Ptnc-FeOx/SiO2 catalyst shows superior catalytic performance than Pt/SiO2 towards the CO oxidation reaction. Kinetics tests show that both the apparent activation energy and turnover frequency of Ptnc-FeOx/SiO2 are greatly enhanced as compared with Pt/SiO2 (19 kJ·mol-1 vs. 64 kJ·mol-1; 0.044 s-1 vs. 0.002 s-1 at 37 °C).ConclusionThe charge transfer from Fe to Pt results in the downshifted d-band center of Pt and reduces the CO adsorption strength, and hence, playing important roles in promoting the catalytic activity of Pt catalysts.
摘要:BackgroundThe linear accelerator of Shanghai soft X-ray free-electron laser facility (SXFEL) operates at 5 712 MHz frequency. In the low level radio frequency (LLRF) system, C band microwave signals were down converted from the 5 686.556 MHz local oscillator (LO) signal to 26.444 MHz intermediate (IM) signal, and then quadruple frequency sampled by the 105.778 MHz clock signal. The stability of LO signal and clock signal can make great influence on the performance of the LLRF system.PurposeThis study aims to design and manufacture a local oscillator and clock device for satisfying the theoretical design requirements of the LLRF in SXFEL.MethodThe LO signal and clock signal were designed to be auto-correlated with the master oscillator signal. All the functional discrete device modules were installed in a shielded aluminum alloy shell, and were matched and interconnected by RF connectors after debugging and testing separately. The phase jitter integral of clock signal and LO signal, as well as the possible temperature sensitive nonlinear modules, i.e., temperature control of frequency divider and frequency multiplier, in clock Lo equipment were experimentally tested.ResultsThe experimental results show that the additional phase jitter integral of LO signal is 21.43 fs, better than the requirement of 40 fs.ConclusionsThe performance of this manufactured LO and clock device can meet the theoretical requirement of the SXFEL.

摘要:BackgroundThe response of azimuth gamma well logging in multiple sectors around the well cannot reflect the actual radioactive distribution of the formation.PurposeThis study aims to obtain the contribution factors of different sectors around the instrument on the detector.MethodsFirst of all, the influence of the formation around the well on the measurement results was verified through numerical simulation. Then an experimental device was designed and implemented for azimuthal sensitivity calibration, and an azimuthal sensitivity calculation method was derived by combining experimental data and numerical results.ResultsThe azimuthal gamma logging can obtain data that reflect the radioactive intensity distribution of the formation to a certain extent, but the calculated azimuth sensitivity factor can be used to accurately reflect the contribution of the 16 azimuth sectors around the well to the detector, and the intensity distribution contrast becomes better.ConclusionsThe radioactivity intensity of the formation calculated by the azimuthal sensitivity factor is closer to the real formation, hence effectively improves the measurement accuracy of azimuthal gamma logging, providing technical support for improving the measurement accuracy of azimuthal gamma logging and identifying formation boundary in the future.

摘要:BackgroundAngular correlation of annihilation radiation (ACAR) is a high-precision (sub-milliradian level) method for studying Fermi momentum and Fermi energy in metals. However, there are some disadvantages in traditional 1D-ACAR experimental device, such as complex device structure and long spectrum formation.PurposeThis study aims to propose a new 1D-ACAR measuring method with improved efficiency based on continuous LYSO crystal array detectors without angle scanning.MethodsContinuous LYSO crystal array and silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) array were used to form detector array, and the truncated center-of-gravity (TCOG) method was adopted as basic location algorithm. Based on the dependence of angular resolution of the array detector completely on its spatial resolution, Geant4 was employed to simulate the continuous crystal array detector (CCAD) to optimize detector structure and location algorithm. Both the array cell width and crystal size were optimized to increase the most possible resolution.ResultsSimulation results show that the angular resolution of the detector can be improved by forming photoelectric conversion array with suitable width of SiPM and increasing the size of continuous crystal. When the width of SiPM array unit is 1 mm and the crystal size is 30 mm (length)×35 mm (width), the angular resolution of CCAD is 0.84 mrad, reaching the angle resolution level of the 1D-ACAR experimental device. Angle resolution of CCAD can be further improved by increasing the crystal size.ConclusionsThe 1D-ACAR experimental device based on the CCAD can greatly shorten the long-time of spectrum formation without decreasing the angle resolution.
摘要:BackgroundDigital shaping algorithms are widely applied to improving the energy resolution of digital nuclear instruments.PurposeThis work aims to improve and analyze the performance of cusp-like shaping algorithm for digital nuclear signal with emphasis on the influence of shaping parameters on the shape of the shaped pulse.MethodsBased on the peak pulse forming algorithm, flat-top parameter was introduced into cusp-like pulse shaping algorithm. The fast silicon drift detector (FAST-SDD) detector produced by Amptek company was employed to measure the pulse signal obtained from manganese sample, the effect of shaping parameters on the shape of the output signal and the separation of pile-up pulses were investigated by the cusp-like pulse shaping method, and compared with the common trapezoidal pulse shaping methods. In addition, Cusp-like shaping and trapezoidal pulse shaping were used for the sampled nuclear pulse signals, and then amplitude discrimination was performed to obtain energy spectrum information. Finally, the influences of the two methods on the counting rate and energy resolution of the same time were studied.ResultsThe results show that the cusp-like pulse shaping has a fast falling edge and a narrow pulse width, makes it easier to separate the pile-up pulses than triangle pulse shaping.ConclusionsUnder the same peak time, trapezoidal pulse shaping has more advantages in energy resolution than cusp-like shaping, while cusp-like pulse shaping shows better performance in count rate.
摘要:As a new method of soil erosion research, 137Cs tracer technology has been widely used in soil erosion research due to its simplicity, rapidity and accurate. After the development of germination exploration, rapid development, popularization and application, the 137Cs technical system has become more mature. In order to understand and apply 137Cs trace technology more scientifically and lay a theoretical foundation for the application of 137Cs technology. The historical process of 137Cs tracer technology was reviewed using scientific bibliometrics. Meanwhile, the main problems existing in the current research were summarized, and the future development trend is prospected. At present, the research on the application of 137Cs to trace soil erosion mainly focuses on the determination of reference inventory, the construction and modification of 137Cs erosion model. It is necessary to establish a high-precision and high-resolution 137Cs reference inventory prediction model (suitable for different scenarios) and a global 137Cs reference inventory database. Due to the short half-life of 137Cs, the concentration of 137Cs is gradually decreasing, hence it is necessary to carry out the joint research of multi-nuclide tracing and multi-method in the future, and simultaneously revise the 137Cs erosion model to fit for estimation of soil erosion rate.

摘要:BackgroundX-ray emission from solid samples exposed to positron beams in the low-energy region is the basis of some material analysis techniques.PurposeThis study aims to measure the K-shell characteristic X-ray yields of Ti (Z=22) target collided by 10~30 keV positrons preliminarily.MethodsBased on the thick-target method, the Si-PIN detector with ultra-thin sensitive layer was adopted to detect the X-rays, and the positron intensity was determined through the 511 keV γ photon counts detected by the HPGe detector. The experimental data were compared with the PENELOPE simulations software which was based on the Distorted-Wave Born Approximation (DWBA) theory.ResultsThe results indicate that the shape of the characteristic X-ray yield curves is consistent in the considered energy regions, but the experimental data are obviously lower than those of the simulation, especially in the lower energy (≦15 keV).ConclusionsThe experimental method adopted in this paper is applicable, providing a reference for the future work.
