主　　题：CSNS MPI 3He tube Readout electronics prototype Functional and performance tests 

摘      要：Background Large areas of 3He neutron detector array and corresponding readout electronics are used in the MPI built at China Spallation Neutron Source(CSNS)to measure the position and flight time of scattered neutrons,and MPI has a high requirement for the position resolution of 3He neutron detector.A 3He neutron detector readout electronics prototype composed of two front-end boards and one digital readout board is designed to meet the above *** Testing the whole readout electronics system before its mass production to ensure it can run correctly and fulfill the functional and performance *** The test of the readout electronics prototype is implemented in the laboratory,and a signal generator is used to generate electronic signals instead of actual neutron *** position resolution test of the readout electronics prototype with 3He tubes is carried out in the No.20 beamline measurement room of *** and Conclusion The functional and performance tests in the laboratory state that the readout electronics prototype can fulfill the readout *** typical value of charge resolution is 0.85 fC;the integral nonlinearity of charge is 0.094%in the input charge range from 100 to 800 *** position resolution test result of the prototype with 3He tubes is better than the design requirement of 10 mm and also quite good compared with that of some other commercial *** tests provide a reliable basis for the mass production of the readout electronics prototype.
