The property of the single chamber was tested with the test beam facility T10 at CERN in Geneva. The MRPC was scanned with the test beam to get the efficiency and time resolution at different position of the active area. The HV plateau was also measured. The time resolution is 65 ps which satisfies the requirement of STAR. The working mechanism of the MRPC is also explained.展开更多

The position dependence of the variances of PSF is presented, and theacceptance for the 140 kev gamma rays is explored. A phantom of 70 mm in diameter was experimentally imaged inthe camera with effective FOV of only 45 mm in diameter.展开更多

The pixel size of NaI(Tl) crystal is 2mm×2mm and the overall dimension of the array is 48.2mm×48.2mm×5mm. There are 484 pixels in a 22×22 matrix. Because each pixel can produce a much focused light spot and restrict the spread of photons, position resolution of the gamma camera is mainly determined by pixel size. It is shown that crystal array pixel can reduce shrinkage effect and improve intrinsic position resolution greatly via restricting the spread of photons. Experimental results demonstrate that its position resolution and linearity are much improved comparing with the gamma camera using planar crystals coupled with PSPMT.展开更多

The total charge induced at the anode or at the cathode of the MRPC module was about 29 mC. The gamma dose rate was 10-2 Gy·h-1, and the total accumulative radiation dose was 4.3 Gy. After irradiation, there was an obvious degradation in the properties of the MRPC module.展开更多
