回旋辐射发射光谱（克雷斯）是一种通过精确测量粒子在磁场中运动产生的回旋辐射频率来测量带电粒子动能的技术。项目8合作正在开发基于克雷斯的下一代中微子质量测量实验。一种方法是使用一个相控天线阵列，它围绕着一定体积的氚气，以检测和测量产生的β衰变电子的回旋辐射。为了验证这种方法的可行性，项目8设计了一个测试台，以基准的天线阵列在重建信号，模仿那些真正的克雷斯事件的性能。为了产生合成的克雷斯事件，已经开发了一种新型的探测天线，其发射的辐射具有与由带电粒子在磁场中产生的回旋辐射相似的特性。本文概述了这种合成回旋加速器天线（SYNCA）的设计，建造和表征。此外，我们进行了一系列的测量，使用SYNCA测试的数字波束形成重建技术的位置重建能力。我们发现，SYNCA产生的辐射特性密切匹配的回旋辐射和实验再现真实克雷斯信号的数字波束形成模拟的现象。
Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy (CRES) is a technique for measuring the kinetic energy of charged particles through a precision measurement of the frequency of the cyclotron radiation generated by the particle's motion in a magnetic field. The Project 8 collaboration is developing a next-generation neutrino mass measurement experiment based on CRES. One approach is to use a phased antenna array, which surrounds a volume of tritium gas, to detect and measure the cyclotron radiation of the resulting β-decay electrons. To validate the feasibility of this method, Project 8 has designed a test stand to benchmark the performance of an antenna array at reconstructing signals that mimic those of genuine CRES events. To generate synthetic CRES events, a novel probe antenna has been developed, which emits radiation with characteristics similar to the cyclotron radiation produced by charged particles in magnetic fields. This paper outlines the design, construction, and characterization of this Synthetic Cyclotron Antenna (SYNCA). Furthermore, we perform a series of measurements that use the SYNCA to test the position reconstruction capabilities of the digital beamforming reconstruction technique. We find that the SYNCA produces radiation with characteristics closely matching those expected for cyclotron radiation and reproduces experimentally the phenomenology of digital beamforming simulations of true CRES signals.
