In this paper, a Time Measurement Evaluation Board (TMEB) is developed to meet the need. It is based on the time-to-digital converter of ACAM TDC-GP2. Test results show an overall time resolution of 81 ps in detecting cosmic-rays with a plastic scintillator.展开更多

We introduce the development history and principle of the technology and describe the data process flow of our system. The system corrects original data to get a dual-energy transparence image. Material categories of all points in the image are identified by the classification curve,which is related to the X-ray energy spectrum. For the calibration of classification curve, our strategy involves a basic curve calibration and a real-time correction devoted to enhancing the classification accuracy. Image segmentation and denoising methods are applied to smooth the image. The image contains more information after colorization. Some results show that our methods achieve the desired effect.展开更多

The key components of the system consist of three golden gratings. The high aspect ratio gratings are fabricated using the SU-8 material. Considering the grating linewidth broadening varies with exposure dose, the relationship between linewidth broadening and exposure dose is studied experimentally. A series of gratings with different periods and different duty cycles are designed by optimizing the linewidth and exposure dose. Finally, the gratings are successfully fabricated by combining UV lithography and electroplating.展开更多
