摘要
A Multi-purpose Time Projection Chamber prototype based on a resistive Micromegas technique has been proposed, designed and fabricated at China Spallation Neutron Source to measure the cross sections of neutron -induced light-charged particle emission reactions and fission reactions at the Back-n white neutron source. For the requirements of working stability with high voltage and high granularity of readout, the prototype is fabricated by applying a resistive Micromegas with high-density pixelated anode plane. In order to fully understand the process of charge spreading and signal induction on the anode plane covered by a resistive layer, a simulation method is developed and the energy correction function is then obtained, which can be used in the further energy correction in the experimental data analysis. Measured with a Fe-55 X-ray source, the uniformity of gain and avalanche gap are specially analyzed by combining the simulated gas avalanche parameters with fitting of experimental data in which the parallel plate avalanche model is adopted.
