论文摘要
提出了一种针对$α$ - 粒子的新成像技术，它使用快速的光学摄像头专注于薄闪烁体。由于$α$ - 粒子在薄薄的液体快速闪烁器中相互作用时，它们会产生局部的光闪光。用镜头收集到具有单个光子灵敏度和出色的空间和时间分辨率的加强光学相机TPX3CAM。光子与相机的相互作用是通过自定义算法重建的，能够使用时间和空间信息区分单个光子。
A new imaging technique for $α$-particles using a fast optical camera focused on a thin scintillator is presented. As $α$-particles interact in a thin layer of LYSO fast scintillator, they produce a localized flash of light. The light is collected with a lens to an intensified optical camera, Tpx3Cam, with single photon sensitivity and excellent spatial & temporal resolutions. The interactions of photons with the camera is reconstructed by means of a custom algorithm, capable of discriminating single photons using time and spatial information.
