The small sensitive area of commercial silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) is the main limitation for their use in many experiments and applications where large detection areas, low cost and power consumption are needed. Since capacitance, dark count rate and cost increase with the SiPM size, they are rarely found in sizes larger than 6 mm $\times$ 6 mm. Photo-Trap offers a low-cost solution to...
The Belle II Time-Of-Propagation (TOP) counter is a novel particle
identification detector based on the combined measurement of a
particle's time of flight, the propagation time of Cherenkov photons
it emits when crossing a thin fused silica bar, and their geometrical pattern.
The Cherenkov radiation is internally reflected to an array of micro-
channel-plate photomultipliers located at...
We present the development of a single-photon detector encapsulating the analog and digital front-end electronics and the connected data acquisition electronics.
This 'hybrid' detector is composed of a vacuum tube, transmission photocathode, micro-channel plate stack and a pixelated CMOS read-out anode encapsulating the analog and digital-front end electronics.
The detector will be capable...
Large Area Picosecond Photodetectors (LAPPDs) are micro-channel based photosensors featuring hundreds of square centimeters of sensitive area in a single package and timing resolution on the order of 50 ps for a single photon detection. However, LAPPDs currently do not exist in finely pixelated 2D readout configurations that in addition to the high-resolution timing would also provide the...
We report on the calibration and performance of the TOF-Wall detector of the FOOT (FragmentatiOn Of Target) experiment. The experiment aims at measuring the fragmentation cross-section of 200–800 MeV/u carbon and oxygen ions impinging onto carbon and polyethylene targets for applications in hadrontherapy and radioprotection in space. The TOF system of the experiment is composed of a thin...
Single-photon detectors are a corner stone of many scientific experiments. While some require precise timing resolution under 100 ps, others need components to be radiopure and operational at noble liquid temperatures. To this end, the team at Université de Sherbrooke and their collaborators have been working on the development of a photodetection module. This module is comprised of...
MYTHEN III is the latest generation of single photon-counting strip detectors developed by the PSD detector group at the Paul Scherrer Institut. It presents the same geometry as its predecessor MYTHEN II (50 μm pitch, 8 mm long strips, 6.4 cm wide modules), but its performance has been greatly improved, in terms of noise, threshold dispersion, count rate capability and frame rate.
The new...
