Laser-accelerated electrons are promising in producing gamma-photon beams of high peak flux for the study of nuclear photonics, obtaining copious positrons and exploring photon–photon interaction in vacuum. We report on the experimental generation of brilliant gamma-ray beams with not only high photon yield but also low divergence, based on picosecond laser-accelerated electrons. The 120 J 1 ps laser pulse drives self-modulated wakefield acceleration in a high-density gas jet and generates tens-of-MeV electrons with 26 nC and divergence as small as $1.51{}^{\circ}$ . These collimated electrons produce gamma-ray photons through bremsstrahlung radiation when transversing a high-Z solid target. We design a high-energy-resolution Compton-scattering spectrometer and find that a total photon number of $2.2\times {10}^9$ is captured within an acceptance angle of $1.1{}^{\circ}$ for photon energies up to $16\;\mathrm{MeV}$ . Comparison between the experimental results and Monte Carlo simulations illustrates that the photon beam inherits the small divergence from electrons, corresponding to a total photon number of $2.2\times {10}^{11}$ and a divergence of $7.73{}^{\circ}$ .

为了深入研究 H2和 H2O进入氧化层后对双极器件辐射效应的影响机制, 以栅控双极晶体管为研究载体, 分别开展了不同浓度 H2浸泡中的辐照试验和温湿度试验后的总剂量辐照试验。试验结果表明, 随着氢气浸泡浓度的增加, 器件的抗辐射能力逐渐降低; 而温湿度试验后, 由于水汽的进入, 器件在随后的辐照试验过程中辐射损伤呈增大趋势。在此基础上, 利用栅控栅扫描法进行氧化层辐射感生缺陷的定量分离, 发现 H2和 H2O进入器件氧化层后, 均会造成辐射感生界面陷阱电荷 Nit的增加, 并在一定程度上降低辐射感生氧化物陷阱电荷 Not的量, 结合理论分析进一步给出了 H2和 H2O造成器件损伤增强的潜在机制。研究成果对于辐射环境用电子系统的抗辐射性能评价和应用具有参考意义。

CdZnTe(CZT)探测器目前在国内外天体物理研究中占有重要的地位。本文采用蒙特卡洛软件GEANT4模拟了CZT伽马射线探测器对伽马射线的能谱响应, 研究了电子和空穴的输运特性、外加偏压、探测器厚度等因素对平面型探测器的能谱特性的影响规律。结果表明, 在电子收集效率较高时, 能量分辨率明显受迁移率寿命积比值((μτ)e/(μτ)h)的影响, 比值越小, 能量分辨率越好。增加工作电压可以提高载流子的收集效率和探测器的能量分辨率。在电子收集效率较高时, 增大厚度可以弱化空穴信号贡献, 提高能量分辨率。漂移程与晶体厚度之比(μτ)eE/d可以用来估算平面型CZT探测器对低能射线的收集效率, 并计算出其对应关系。

The effects of gamma ray (γ-ray) radiation and electron beam (e-beam) radiation on Rayleigh scattering coefficient in single-mode fiber are experimentally investigated. Utilizing an optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR), the power distribution curves of the irradiated fibers are obtained to retrieve the corresponding radiation-induced attenuation (RIA). Based on the backscattering power levels and the measured RIAs, the Rayleigh scattering coefficients can be characterized quantitatively for each fiber sample. Under the given radiation conditions, Rayleigh scattering coefficients have been changed very little while RIAs have been changed significantly. Furthermore, simulations have been implemented to verify the validity of the measured Rayleigh scattering coefficient, including the splicing points.

In the laser plasma interaction of quantum electrodynamics (QED)-dominated regime, γ-rays are generated due to synchrotron radiation from high-energy electrons traveling in a strong background electromagnetic field. With the aid of 2D particle-in-cell code including QED physics, we investigate the preplasma effect on the γ-ray generation during the interaction between an ultraintense laser pulse and solid targets. We found that with the increasing preplasma scale length, the γ-ray emission is enhanced significantly and finally reaches a steady state. Meanwhile, the γ-ray beam becomes collimated. This shows that, in some cases, the preplasmas will be piled up acting as a plasma mirror in the underdense preplasma region, where the γ-rays are produced by the collision between the forward electrons and the reflected laser fields from the piled plasma. The piled plasma plays the same role as the usual reflection mirror made from a solid target. Thus, a single solid target with proper scale length preplasma can serve as a manufactural and robust γ-ray source.
