Description
SiPm photo detectors are nowadays commonly used in many applications. It
has been shown that SiPm are "nearly ideals" light sensors for Imaging
Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT), however this was proven only
for small size telescopes.
For large size telescopes like MAGIC or the future Large Size Telescope
(LST) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array project (CTA), a pixel size of some cm2 is needed.
An analog amplifier and sum stage was built and characterized. A large
and compact SiPm matrix prototype, with the associated focusing optics,
was assembled into a monolithic light detector with an active area of ~3
cm2. The performance of the electronics is tailored for IACT
applications, with fast signal and adequate signal/noise ratio.
