Scintillator counters with multi - pixel avalanche photodiode readout for the ND 280 detector of the T 2 K experiment
The Tokai–to–Kamioka (T2K) experiment is a second generation long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment which aims at a sensitive search for the νe appearance. The main design features of the T2K near neutrino detectors located at 280 m from the target are presented. Scintillator counters developed for the T2K near detectors are described. Readout of the counters is provided via WLS fibers e...

متن کاملCharacterization of a Geiger-mode Avalanche Photodiode
A 32 by 32 array of packaged 100 μm Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes were tested and characterized. A breakdown voltage of 32 V was measured; at or just above this voltage is where the device should be biased in order to operate in Geiger-mode. The ideal region of the forward biased IV curve resulted in an ideality factor of 1.0 and no recombination/generation region. In addition, IDL code was...
متن کاملGeiger-mode avalanche-photodiodes as readout for the CALIFA detector
The CALIFA spectrometer, which surrounds the RB target, will be used for detection of gamma-rays and highenergy protons. Of particular interest for this detector the energy resolution and its dependence on different configurations and components has to be studied. Cs(Tl) crystals with photomultiplier tubes (PMT) or avalanchephotodiodes (APD) readout as well as LaBr3(Ce) so far with PMT readout ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Avalanche Photodiode Arrays for the Readout of High Granularity Scintillator Matrices
In order to provide sufficient flexibility for patient positioning at the Heidelberg charged hadron tumour treatment facility, γ-ray detectors with large sensitive area and small volume are highly desirable for the positron camera to combine with a rotating beam delivery (gantry). Photon detector technology yields increasingly more compact PET-detectors consisting of inorganic scintillators, e....
