SECTION A, ACCELERATORS, SPECTROMETERS, DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT | Number: | 787 | First Page: | 236 | Abstract: | The Muon Portal is a recently started Project aiming at the construction of a large area tracking detector that exploits the muon tomography technique to inspect the contents of traveling cargo containers. The detection planes will be made of plastic scintillator strips with embedded wavelength-shifting fibres. Special designed silicon photomultipliers will read the scintillation light transported by the fibres along the strips and a dedicated electronics will combine signals from different strips to reduce the overall number of channels, without loss of information. Different silicon photomultiplier prototypes, both with the p-on-n and n-on-p technologies, have been produced by STMicroelectronics during the last years. In this paper we present the main characteristics of the silicon photomultipliers designed for the Muon Portal Project and describe the setup and the procedure implemented for the characterization of these devices, giving some statistical results obtained from the test of a first batch of silicon photomultipliers. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/23781 | URL: | https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168900214014673 | ISSN: | 0168-9002 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.nima.2014.12.026 | Bibcode ADS: | 2015NIMPA.787..236L | Fulltext: | reserved |
