Abstract
The low-energy X-ray polarization detector (LPD) is a large-area and wide-field-of-view (FoV) X-ray polarimeter planned to be installed on the China Space Station. The LPD is designed to measure the polarization of gamma bursts and their early X-ray afterglows, facilitating studies of celestial bodies and radiation mechanisms at the centers of gamma bursts. The LPD consists of 15 detection units with identical structure and function. A detection unit prototype was developed, featuring six pixel detectors compactly placed on a bonding and front-end electronics (BFE) board with an effective detection area of
$27.36~\rm cm^{2}$
. Each pixel detector has 16 analog output channels, after which data are amplified, digitized, and transmitted via the board-to-board (BTB) connector to the data acquisition (DAQ) board for processing. The prototype also includes an internal high-voltage circuit with up to −4-kV voltages. The test results indicate that the detection unit prototype can simultaneously read data from 96 channels of pixel detectors with an equivalent charge noise of 49.49 e
$^{-}$
. It features comprehensive power management, offers configurable data compression, storage, and encoding, and meets all functional requirements of the detection unit.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is a publication of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society. It is viewed as the primary source of technical information in many of the areas it covers. As judged by JCR impact factor, TNS consistently ranks in the top five journals in the category of Nuclear Science & Technology. It has one of the higher immediacy indices, indicating that the information it publishes is viewed as timely, and has a relatively long citation half-life, indicating that the published information also is viewed as valuable for a number of years.
The IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is published bimonthly. Its scope includes all aspects of the theory and application of nuclear science and engineering. It focuses on instrumentation for the detection and measurement of ionizing radiation; particle accelerators and their controls; nuclear medicine and its application; effects of radiation on materials, components, and systems; reactor instrumentation and controls; and measurement of radiation in space.
