摘要

Energetic particle radiation diagnoses mainly detect the particles(such as neutrons,gamma rays,hard X-rays,and escaping electrons)that are radiated in the discharge process of the experimental advanced super-conducting tokamak device to characterize the operating state of the plasma in real time.The upgrading of these diagnoses requires new instruments based on national(here,"national"means developed and produced by a Chinese company)core chips and open-source software with advanced digitization,a high sampling rate,and a high time resolution.The new spectroscopy system designed in this study adopts the national field-programmable gate array(FPGA)and an analog-to-digital converter as the core chip,and it is developed using Qt on Linux.The commu-nication between the FPGA and embedded controller occurs via a high-speed peripheral component interconnect extension for instrument express protocol with a direct memory access mode.On this basis,the time resolution of the system is improved from 2 to 1 ms,the maximum channel address is increased to 4096,and the sampling rate is increased from 10 to 80 Msps.Calibration experiments of the spectroscopy system with 152Eu and 137Cs sources
