摘要: 空间电子探测器的准直仪的目的是限制仪器的探测张角和几何因子,而电子与准直仪材料的散射效应严重,准直仪的设计优劣将直接影响仪器的测量精度。本文以我国的风云四号卫星的高能电子探测器为例,在基础准直仪的结构基础上进行了改进设计,分析了在准直仪内的加齿结构、齿形、齿厚、齿深、齿数等参数对准直仪反散射能力的影响。分析发现齿形对反散射能力的影响最大,齿深对反散射能力影响较小。提出了最优准直仪结构,有效改善了准直仪内电子散射问题,总结了空间电子探测器的准直仪设计的经验和原则,为以后准直仪的优化提供参考。Abstract: A novel collimator was designed for the detector of space high energy electron,and exemplified by the one installed in China's FY-4 satellite.The original work was the addition of circular ribs inside the cylindrical shell.The trajectory of the impinging electrons through the new collimator was mathematically modeled,theoretically analyzed and numerically simulated in Monte Carlo method.The influence of collimator geometry,including the profile/number/width/spacing/depth of the individual added rib,on the anti-electron-scattering behavior was investigated for the design optimization.The simulated results show that the rib-profile and the rib-depth have the largest and the smallest impact factor,respectively.The collimator with the optimized Model-9 geometry outperforms that with the primitive Model-0 structure because of 82% reduction of the interference probability of electrons outside the field of view and because of smaller deviation from the theoretical results.
