摘要:A fully digital data acquisition system based on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) was developed for a CsI(Tl) array at the External Target Facility (ETF)in the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou(HIRFL). To process the CsI(Tl) signals generated by γ-rays and light-charged ions, a scheme for digital pulse processing algorithms is proposed. Every step in the algorithms was benchmarked using standard γ and α sources. The scheme, which included a moving average filter, baseline restoration, leading-edge discrimination, moving window deconvolution and digital charge comparison was subsequently implemented on the FPGA. A good energy resolution of 5.7% for 1.33 MeV γ rays and excellent α-γ identification using the digital charge comparison method were achieved, which satisfies CsI(Tl) array performance requirements.

摘要:The accurate modeling of depletion, intricately tied to the solution of the neutron transport equation, is crucial for the design, analysis, and licensing of nuclear reactors and their fuel cycles. This paper introduces a novel multi-group Monte-Carlo depletion calculation approach. Multi-group cross-sections (MGXS) are derived from both 3D whole-core modeling and a 2D fuel subassembly using the continuous-energy Monte-Carlo technique. Core calculations employ the multi-group Monte-Carlo method, accommodating both homogeneous and specific local heterogeneous geometries. The proposed method has been validated against the MET-1000 metal-fueled fast reactors, using both the OECD/NEA benchmark and a new refueling benchmark introduced in this paper. Our findings suggest that microscopic MGXS, produced via the Monte-Carlo technique, are viable for fast reactor depletion analyses. Furthermore, the locally heterogeneous model with angular-dependent MGXS offers robust predictions for core reactivity, control rod value, sodium void value, Doppler constants, power distribution, and concentration levels.

摘要:As a unique probe, precision measurement of textit{pp} solar neutrinos is important for studying the Sun's energy mechanism, monitoring thermodynamic equilibrium, and studying neutrino oscillation in the vacuum-dominated region. For a large-scale liquid scintillator detector, one bottleneck for textit{pp} solar neutrino detection comes from pile-up events of intrinsic $^{14}$C decays. This paper presents a few approaches to discriminate textit{pp} solar neutrinos and $^{14}$C pile-up events by considering the difference in their time and spatial distributions. In this work, a Geant4-based Monte Carlo simulation is constructed. Then multivariate analysis and deep learning technology were adopted respectively to investigate the capability of $^{14}$C pile-up reduction. As a result, the BDTG model and VGG network showed good performance in discriminating textit{pp} solar neutrinos and $^{14}$C double pile-up events. hl{At the $^{14}$C concentration assumption $5 times10^{-18} g/g$,} their signal significance can achieve 10.3 and 15.6 using only one day of statistics. In this case, the signal efficiency is 51.1 % for discrimination using the BDTG model when rejecting 99.18 % $^{14}$C double pile-up events, and the signal efficiency is 42.7 % for the case using the VGG network when rejecting 99.81 % $^{14}$C double pile-up events.

摘要:Intensity-modulated particle therapy (IMPT) with carbon ions is comparatively susceptible to various uncertainties caused by breathing motion, including range, setup, and target positioning uncertainties. To determine relative biological effectiveness-weighted dose (RWD) distributions that are resilient to these uncertainties, the reference phase-based four-dimensional (4D) robust optimization (RP-4DRO) and each phase-based 4D robust optimization (EP-4DRO) method in carbon-ion IMPT treatment planning were evaluated and compared. Based on RWD distributions, 4DRO methods were compared with 4D conventional optimization using planning target volume (PTV) margins (PTV-based optimization) to assess the effectiveness of the robust optimization methods. Carbon-ion IMPT treatment planning was conducted in a cohort of five lung cancer patients. The results indicated that the EP-4DRO method provided better robustness (P=0.080) and improved plan quality (P=0.225) for the clinical target volume (CTV) in the individual respiratory phase when compared with the PTV-based optimization. Compared with the PTV-based optimization, the RP-4DRO method ensured the robustness (P = 0.022) of the dose distributions in the reference breathing phase, albeit with a slight sacrifice of the target coverage (P=0.450). Both 4DRO methods successfully maintained the doses delivered to the organs at risk (OARs) below tolerable levels, which were lower than the doses in the PTV-based optimization (P<0.05). Furthermore, the RP-4DRO method exhibited significantly superior performance when compared with the EP-4DRO method in enhancing overall OAR sparing in either the individual respiratory phase or reference respiratory phase (P<0.05). In general, both 4DRO methods outperformed the PTV-based optimization in terms of OAR sparing and robustness.

摘要:The purpose of this study was to design a rapid cycling synchrotron, making it capable of proton beam ultra-high dose rate irradiation, inspired by laser accelerators. The design had to be cheap and simple. We consider our design from six aspects: the lattice, injection, extraction, space charge effects, eddy current effects and energy switching. Efficiency and particle quantity must be addressed when injected. The space charge effects at the injection could affect particles’ number. The eddy current effects in the vacuum chambers would affect the magnetic field itself and generate heat, all of which need to be taken into account. Fast extraction can obtain 1010 protons/pulse, equal to instantaneous dose rate up to 107 Gy/s in a very short time, while changing various extraction energies rapidly and easily to various deposition depths. In the further research we expect to combine a delivery system with this accelerator to realize the FLASH irradiation.

摘要:Alloys of uranium and molybdenum are considered as the future of nuclear fuel and defense materials. However, surface corrosion is a fundamental problem in practical applications and storage. In this study, the static and dynamic evolution of carbon monoxide (CO) adsorption and dissociation on γ-U (1 0 0) surface with different Mo doping levels was investigated based on density functional theory and ab initio molecular dynamics. During the static calculation phase, parameters, such as adsorption energy, configuration, and Bader charge, were evaluated at all adsorption sites. Furthermore, the time-dependent behavior of CO molecule adsorption were investigated at the most favorable sites. The minimum energy paths for CO molecular dissociation and atom migration were investigated using the transition state search method. The results demonstrated that the CO on the uranium surface mainly manifests as chemical adsorption before dissociation of the CO molecule. The CO molecule exhibited a tendency to rotate and tilt upright adsorption. However, it is difficult for CO adsorption on the surface in one of the configurations with CO molecule in vertical direction but oxygen (O) is closer to the surface. Bader charge illustrates that the charge transfers from slab atoms to the 2π* antibonding orbital of CO molecule and particularly occurs in carbon (C) atoms. The time is less than 100 fs for the adsorptions that forms embryos with tilt upright in dynamics evolution. The density of states elucidates that the overlapping hybridization of C and O 2p orbitals is mainly formed via the d orbitals of uranium and molybdenum (Mo) atoms in the dissociation and re-adsorption of CO molecule. In conclusion, Mo-doping of the surface can decelerate the adsorption and dissociation of CO molecules. A Mo-doped surface, created through ion injection, enhanced the resistance to uranium-induced surface corrosion.

摘要:Radio-frequency (RF) breakdown analysis and location are critical for successful development of high-gradient traveling-wave (TW) accelerators, especially those expected to generate high-intensity, high-power beams. Compared with commonly used schemes involving dedicated devices or complicated techniques, a convenient approach for breakdown locating based on transmission line (TL) theory offers advantages in the typical constant-gradient TW-accelerating structure. To deliver such an approach, an equivalent TL model has been constructed to equate the TW-accelerating structure based on the fundamental theory of the TL transient response in the time domain. An equivalence relationship between the TW-accelerating structure and the TL model has been established via analytical derivations associated with grid charts and verified by TL circuit simulations. Furthermore, to validate the proposed fault-locating method in practical applications, an elaborate analysis via such a method has been conducted for the recoverable RF-breakdown phenomena observed at an existing prototype of a TW-accelerating-structure-based beam injector constructed at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology. In addition, further considerations and discussion for extending the applications of the proposed method have been given. This breakdown-locating approach involving the transient response in the framework of TL theory can be a conceivable supplement to existing methods, facilitating solution to construction problems at an affordable cost.

摘要:Environmental radon emanates from the exhalation and release of soil, rocks, and building materials. Environmental radon contamination tracing and radon pollution prevention and control require the measurement of the radon exhalation rate on media surfaces. Reliable measurements of the radon exhalation rate cannot be achieved without regular calibration of the measuring instrument with a high-performance reference device. In this study, a reference device for the calibration of radon exhalation rate measuring instruments was developed using a diffusion solid radon source with a high and stable radon emanation coefficient, an integrated diffusion component composed of a plasterboard and a high-density wooden board, an air pressure balance device, a radon accumulation chamber, and a support structure. The uniformity and stability of the reference device were evaluated using the activated carbon-γ spectrum and open-loop method, respectively, to measure the radon exhalation rate. The reference device achieved different radon exhalation rates by using different activities of diffusion solid radon sources. Nineteen measurement points were regularly selected on the radon exhalation surface of the reference device, and the uniformity of the radon exhalation rate exceeded 5%. The short-term stability of the reference device was better than 5% under different environmental conditions and was almost unaffected by the ambient air pressure, environmental temperature, and relative humidity.

摘要:With the development of high-performance photon sources which have extremely low emittance,
autotuning magnet girders have drawn more and more attention, especially for diffraction-limited storage
rings and free-electron lasers. The biggest challenge is to simultaneously obtain high stability and high
flexibility. In this paper, an autotuning magnet-girder prototype has been designed and developed.
Topological optimization, multipoint supports, and locking systems have been applied for magnet-girder
design to improve the stability. The modal analysis accords with the vibration test well. The natural
frequency of the magnet-girder assembly is deduced as high as 45.6 Hz, which demonstrates good stability.
Ball-cam movers have been chosen as adjustment mechanisms, and a closed-loop control scheme has been
used to pursue high accuracy. The kinematic resolution is better than 1 μm, and the accuracy is better than
1 μm within the adjusting range of #1;5 mm. Besides, it can eliminate most of the calibration, which can
save much manpower and time. The tests demonstrate that the magnet girder can be used for beam-based
girder alignment with high stability and high accuracy.

摘要:Molecular dynamics method is used to investigate the displacement cascades in Ni-Mo binary alloy. Effects of the irradiation temperature, energy of the primary knock-on atoms and concentration of solute Mo atoms are taken into consideration on radiation damage to the Ni-Mo alloy. It is found that Mo atoms reduce production of the Frenkel pairs at 100 K, while they enhance defect production at 300 K and 600 K. Size of the largest defect clusters decreases with increasing concentrations of Mo atoms (CMo) at 100 K, but it increases with CMo at 300 K and 600 K. Most of the point defects get clustered in cascades leaving only a few vacancies and interstitials isolated.

摘要:Based on the design of CLEAR (China LEAd-based Reactor), it is important to study the molten LBE (Lead-Bismuth Eutectic)/water interaction following an incidental steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) accident. Experiments were carried out to investigate the fragmentation behavior of the molten LBE/water contacting interface, with a high-speed video camera to record the fragmentation behavior of 300–600 ℃ LBE at 20 ℃ and 80 ℃ of water temperature. Violent explosion phenomenon occurred at water temperature of 20 ℃, while no explosion occurred at 80 ℃. Shapes of the LBE debris became round at 80 ℃ of water temperature, whereas the debris was of the needle-like shape at 20 ℃. For all the molten LBE and water temperatures in the present study, the debris sized at 2.8–5.0 mm had the largest mass fraction. The results indicate that the dominant physical mechanism of the molten LBE fragmentation was the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability between LBE/water direct contact interface.
