摘要：
A compact, low-mass light shield has been designed for the Psyche space mission high-purity germanium gamma-ray spectrometer. The spectrometer will be vented to space, which can allow solar photons to enter the cryostat and cause charge-induced noise. The light shield was designed to block more than 99.9% of solar photons while maintaining high molecular conductance to space vacuum. COMSOL simulations and experiments were performed to characterize light shield photon attenuation and molecular conductance. The light shield was integrated onto the gamma-ray spectrometer and photon suppression and vacuum performance were demonstrated.
