Abstract: The properties of working gases in gas detectors,such as the average ionization energy,Fano factor,and drift velocity,have a significant impact on the preliminary simulation,parameter design,and trajectory reconstruction of the detectors.SeF6,as the target working gas in domestic neutrinoless double beta decay experiments,has unknown parameters that need to be investigated.To study the relevant parameters of this gas,a measurement scheme was designed and the accuracy and reliability of the experimental plan were tested using Ar/CH4=90/10(P10) as the working gas.In the experiment,the average ionization energy of P10 was measured using a grid ionization chamber with an 𝛼 source,yielding a value of 27.10±0.04 eV,and the Fano factor was determined to be 0.175±0.001 when the energy resolution reached 0.91% after subtracting noise through calibration electronics.Additionally,the drift velocity was measured using a 266 nm laser and a time projection chamber,and the results were consistent with the Garfield++ simulation results.The experimental results indicate the feasibility of the measurement scheme and demonstrate high reliability of
the measurement results.This provides a solid foundation for further research on the properties of SeF6.

Abstract: The high-intensity heavy-ion accelerator facility (HIAF) under construction is equipped with an advanced radioactive beam line HFRS, which will provide a new opportunity for the research of high-energy radionuclide beam physics in China.The characteristic of HFRS is high intensity, This puts forward very strict requirements for particle recognition energy loss detector.The traditional energy loss detector generally adopts the analog plug-in technology route of preamplifier, main amplifier and ADC for signal processing.This scheme has some problems, such as slow electronic response, poor flexibility and difficulty in dealing with serious pulse pile-up at high count rate. We propose a new applicable to high count rate energy loss detector scheme.The signal of the energy loss detector is initially amplified by the fast charge sensitive preamplifier, and Then the waveform is directly collected by waveform digitizer and then processed by digital algorithm.And use the Multiple Sampling Ionization Chamber (MUSIC) of secondary beam line of lanzhou RIBLL2 for the radioactive source and beam test.Using the 3 components 𝛼 source test, using digital shaping algorithm processing for acquisition of waveform, energy resolution (FWHM) of up to 1.31%.In RIBLL2 provide 300 MeV/u of 56Fe beam test, uses the time constant of 𝜏f = 2 𝜇𝑠 of fast charge sensitive preamplifier on the count rate is close to 1 MHz is still not occurred pulse pile-up obviously.

Abstract: Cosmic rays are used for the calibration of the Veto detector at ETF in HIRFL-CSR of the Cooling Storage
Ring of Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou(HIRFL-CSR). The work is divided into two parts: position calibration
and time calibration. The hit positions of particles are obtained by position calibration and an uniform standard of the
measurement of particle hit time in the Veto detector is built through time calibration. The information of position and
time of particles serves as important criteria for eliminating changed particle events that hit the neutron wall detector,
providing support for the realization of the physical objectives of the neutron wall detector. A 2.53 cm position resolution
and a 1.09 ns time resolution have been achieved in this paper.

Abstract: Multinucleon transfer reactions involving heavy actinide projectile and target nuclei hold significant potential as a groundbreaking method to synthesize
neutron-rich superheavy nuclei. The construction of a Principled Spectrometer for Neutron-rich Superheavy Nucleus Research is highly desirable to establish the technical, methodological, and device foundation to explore the stability island in superheavy nuclei and to study the mechanism of multinucleon transfer reactions. The gas cell of the Principled Spectrometer requires a continuous supply of high-purity helium gas to stop the energetic radioactive reaction products and to extract the energy-reduced ions to the subsequent experimental setup. The paper focuses on a newly developed cryogenic purification system for the gas cell of the spectrometer. This cryogenic purification system is designed to provide recyclable and high-purity helium for the Principled Spectrometer. With a series of tests, the cryogenic purification system has been proven to be able to purify the 99% helium gas to 99.999% or higher, fulfilling the requirements of the gas cell when used in conjunction with the chemical purification system.

Abstract:
High energy gamma-rays carry the fundamental information of the astrophysical sources in extreme conditions. The space detection of gamma-rays is distinguished by the wide energy range, the observation continuity as well as the high energy resolution. With the experience in constructing and running the DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE), we propose a new satellite mission——Very Large Area gamma-ray Space Telescope (VLAST). VLAST has an acceptance of ~10 m2·sr at GeV energies and ~ 1 m2·sr at MeV energies. Together with a much better energy resolution, VLAST is expected to increase the sensitivity of Fermi Large Area Telescope by a factor of 10. In this work, the main scientific objectives, the detection principle, the payload and the expected performance of VLAST are introduced.
