摘  要:Purpose Low-radioactive material screening is becoming essential for rare event search experiments,such as neutrinoless double beta decay and dark matter searches in underground laboratories.A gaseous time projection chamber(TPC)can be used for such purposes with large active areas and high efficiency.Methods A gaseous TPC with a Micromegas readout plane of approximately 20×20 cm^(2)is successfully constructed for surface alpha contamination measurements.Results We have characterized the energy resolution,gain stability,and tracking capability with calibration sources.Conclusion With the unique track-related background suppression cuts of the gaseous TPC,we have established that the alpha background rate of the TPC is(0.13±0.03)×10^(−6)Bq/cm^(2),comparable to the leading commercial solutions.
