强流加速器基于空间限束的亚毫米焦斑产生技术研究

Generation of sub-mm focal spot for intense-current accelerator utilizing spatial collimating restriction

焦斑大小是评价加速器性能的关键指标之一,减小焦斑尺寸可以有效提高闪光照相中对客体成像的空间分辨能力。本文研究设计空间限束结构,减小加速器光源焦斑的有效尺寸降低成像几何模糊。采用蒙特卡罗方法对电子束打靶产生轫致辐射和光子穿过空间限束结构的成像过程进行模拟,分析采用不同空间限束结构时光源有效焦斑的分布及大小、光子角度分布和能谱分布等特征参数。理论计算结果表明,通过空间限束可以使强流加速器光源焦斑FWHM减小至亚毫米量级。

Focal spot size is a key parameter for evaluating the resolving power of the accelerator.A reduction in the focal spot size can effectively improve the spatial resolution of the object.This work studies and designs collimator structures for spatial restriction,which help to reduce the geometry blur of imaging and thus obtain a smaller effective spot-size.The Monte Carlo method is applied to simulate the generation of the light source and the imaging process of the spatial restriction structures.The parameters of the light source with different collimator structures are analyzed,including the distribution and size of the effective focal spot,the angular distribution and the spectrum of the photons.Theoretical calculations show that an effective focal spot size with a sub-mm scale can be obtained by means of spatial restriction at the expense of a partial loss of the field-of-view and the exposure.
