A prototype avalanche photodiode array for scintillating-fiber tracking detectors
We have evaluated the performance of a prototype 16-channel avalanche photodiode (APD) array developed primarily for scintillating-fiber (SCIFI) tracking detectors. The APD array was coupled to a 2.5 m long SCIFI array, and the detection efficiency was measured for minimum ionizing particles passing through the SCIFI array. The APD array was cooled to −50◦C to improve the S/N ratio. We have fou...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Commercial PhotoDiode Array for Radiation Detectors Readout
The aim of the present work is the characterization of the new S8866-128-02 PhotoDiode (PD) array from Hamamatsu Photonics. This work includes the implementation of a readout system as well as electronic noise estimation in PDs under several conditions varying integration times and clock frequencies.
متن کاملAvalanche photodiode A User Guide
Introduction Avalanche photodiode detectors (APD) have and will continue to be used in many diverse applications such as laser range finders, data communications or photon correlation studies. This paper discusses APD structures, critical performance parameter and excess noise factor. For low-light detection in the 200to 1150-nm range, the designer has three basic detector choices the silicon P...
متن کاملModelling of High Quantum Efficiency Avalanche Photodiode
A model of a low noise high quantum efficiency n+np Germanium Photodiode utilizing ion implantation technique and subsequent drive-in diffusion in the n layer is presented. Numerical analysis is used to study the influence of junction depth and bulk concentration on the electric field profile and quantum efficiency. The performance of the device is theoretically treated especially at the wave-l...
متن کاملRefinement of the T466 Prototype Tungsten/Scintillating Fiber Electromagnetic Calorimeter
In April 2003, UCLA researchers conducted test run T466 at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center with their newly designed electromagnetic calorimeter towers composed of tungsten powder and scintillating fibers. The prototype’s energy resolution, uniformity of response, and linearity were measured using an electron beam with a momentum of up to 10 GeV. The measured energy resolution was 17%/ √...
