Poster

The Large Size Telescopes (LSTs) are the largest telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). Their cameras are equipped with 1855 photomultiplier tube (PMT) pixels with GHz readout, to image the flashes of Cherenkov light emitted from atmospheric air-showers initiated by cosmic gamma rays.
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are becoming valid alternatives for PMTs, and in fact many of...

39. A full and customizable simulation of a scintillation tile equipped with SiPMs for Plastic Scintillator Detectors in the next generation of satellite experiments

Davide Serini (BA)

Poster

Satellite experiments employ plastic scintillators to discriminate charged from neutral particles in order to correctly identify gamma-rays and nuclei. The latest results in the field of cosmic rays and dark matter highlight the necessity of new experiments covering energies beyond the TeV with improved performance compared to present satellite experiments. The Plastic Scintillators Detector...

38. A SiPM-based gamma-ray imaging camera for ambient radioactivity detection

Corrado Altomare (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare)

Poster

The aim of this work is to design a camera for gamma-ray imaging based on the coded mask technique widely used in astrophysics. The Camera will be made by 16 scintillators coupled with 16 SiPMs to have an instrument lightweigth, compact for real-time analysis, with low energy consumption. We built a prototype as proof of concept using 16 CsI scintillators doped with Tl (3x3x10 cm3). Each...

4. Characterisation of SiPMs for the LHCb scintillating fibre tracker

Carina Trippl (EPFL)

Poster

For the future data taking at LHC, the LHCb detector and in particular the tracking system is replaced to cope with the increased luminosity foreseen and a trigger-less read-out scheme. A scintillating fibre tracker with 500K channels and a total surface of (300 m$^2$) was developed, produced and is currently in the installation phase. One of the key components that enables the scintillating...

2. Displacement Damage Effects on Dark Count Rate in Irradiated CMOS SPADs Sensors

Francesco Di Capua (University of Naples "Federico II" and INFN)

03/10/2019, 13:06

Poster

The aim of this work is to investigate the degradation induced by radiation on Dark Count Rate in a monolithic SPADs detector manufactured in a 150-nm CMOS process. This study has been done in order to check the suitability of CMOS SPADs for future applications requiring single-photon detection capability in radiation environments, like space or experiments at particle colliders.
For this...

6. The Liquid Argon Detector and Measurement of SiPM Array

Dr Cong Guo (Institute of High Energy Physics)

03/10/2019, 13:10

Poster

Particle detectors based on liquid argon(LAr) have recently become recognized as an extremely attractive technology for the direct detection of dark matter as well as the measurement of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering(CEvNS). The Chinese argon group at Institute of High Energy Physics has been studying the LAr detector technology and a dual phase LAr detector has been operating...

45. Some high energy physics application of NDL-SiPM

Boxiang Yu (Institute of high energy physics, China)

Poster

The NDL-SiPM is a bulk resistor type SiPM. It is a SiPM with epitaxial quenching resistors (EQR). Now, it is planed to used in high engergy physics.This SiPM was tried to be used in CEPC hardonic callorimeter. Some properties of NDL-SiPM were tested such as PDE, corss talk, light ourput. The result show that this type SiPM can be one candidate of CEPC callorimeter.

46. Si-PM Performance Comparison for Readout of CsI / BGO Scintillators

Hiromitsu Takahashi (Dept. of Physical Science, Hiroshima Univ. ISEE, Nagoya Univ.)

03/10/2019, 13:18

Poster

CsI and BGO scintillators are available with large crystal sizes and utilized for veto detectors in X-/gamma-ray satellite missions. Since Si-PMs are compact and operated with low voltage, they are planned to be used the scintillation readout in future missions. We study the readout performance of the scintillation lights with the recently available Si-PMs (MPPCs) from Hamamatsu. Photonics...

Poster

According to the recent developments in fundamental and applied physics (i.e. calorimetry for high energy experiments and PET scanners in medical physics), Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) are the state-of-the-art sensors for light detection, sensitive to the single photons together with unprecedented counting capability. In addition, SiPMs provide significant advantages in terms of:

• cost...

42. Discovery of an optical millisecond pulsar with a Silicon Fast Astronomical Photometer

Dr Filippo Ambrosino (INAF-IAPS )

Poster

The recent advent of solid-state detectors originally developed for high energy physics is revolutionizing astrophysical measurements. An ultra-fast photometer based on the Silicon Photo Multiplier technology (SiFAP, Silicon Fast Astronomical Photometer, Ambrosino et al., 2013, 2016) and capable of the single-photon detection in the Optical band (320-900 nm) with a time resolution down to 8 ns...
