Monte-Carlo Simulation Of A Gated V-type MCP Framing Camera

Over the past twenty years, further progress has been made in the research of high-speed MCP Gated Framing Camera. It has been widely used in optical measurement of plasma generated in experiment of laser-driven inertial confinement fusion (ICF), Z-pinch, etc. It has many advantages such as high spatial resolution, big dynamic range, low imaging aberration, and high time resolution, etc.Spatial resolution and time resolution are the most important parameters of high-speed MCP Gated Framing Camera. They are restricted by many parameters of the camera such as the parameters of MCP, the FWHM and peak value of gated voltage pulse, and the voltage applied between MCP and phosphor screen, etc. The existing analytical models are all based on many what-ifs, and it is hard to see research and test on dynamic spatial resolution of MCP Gated Framing Camera.In this thesis, Monte-Carlo method is used to simulate the whole courses of electronic transportation, collision and secondary emission of electrons in a single channel of a Gated V-type MCP Framing Camera. The results confirm several qualitative analytical conclusions and some new conclusions are obtained also. All these will be beneficial to the design and optimization of this kind of camera.
