基于G4beamline的重离子束流损失探测器的模拟研究

Simulation Study of Heavy Ion Beam Loss Detector Based on G4beamline

  • 摘要: 塑料闪烁体探测器凭借其高辐射灵敏度和快速响应特性,在强流高功率重离子加速器的束流损失监测中发挥着重要作用。由于不同种类、不同能量的离子束需要匹配相应的标定系数才能确保探测器信号准确表征粒子损失量,传统上通过人工制造束流损失进行校准的方法虽然直接有效,但面对种类繁多的重离子束时存在巨大的校准成本。介绍了基于蒙特卡罗模拟程序G4beamline对氢(H)、碳(C)、氮(N)、氩(Ar)等多种重离子束的损失场景及其与塑料闪烁体探测器的相互作用进行的建模仿真,给出了相应的标定系数。同时在兰州重离子研究装置(HIRFL)上进行了束流实验验证:通过全阻挡型法拉第筒精确测量被拦截束流强度,利用邻近布置的塑料闪烁体探测器同步记录束流损失信号。实验数据分析表明,基于蒙特卡罗模拟的标定方法能够有效表征实际束流损失情况,验证了通过模拟计算替代在线束流校准的可行性。

     

    Abstract: Plastic scintillator detectors play a vital role in beam loss monitoring for high-power heavy-ion accelerators due to their high radiation sensitivity and rapid response characteristics. Accurate calibration coefficients, which vary with ion species and energy, are essential to ensure detector signals reliably quantify particle loss. Traditional calibration methods involving artificial beam loss generation, though direct and effective, incur significant costs when applied to diverse heavy-ion beams. This study employs the Monte Carlo simulation toolkit G4beamline to model beam loss scenarios and interactions between plastic scintillator detectors and various heavy-ion beams (hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, argon), providing corresponding calibration coefficients. Experimental validation was conducted at the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL): A Faraday cup precisely measured beam intensity, while adjacent plastic scintillator detectors simultaneously recorded loss signals. Data analysis demonstrates that Monte Carlo-derived calibration coefficients effectively characterize actual beam loss, confirming the feasibility of replacing online beam calibration with simulation-based approaches.
