Measurements of Cherenkov Photons with Silicon Photomultipliers
A novel photon detector, the Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM), has been tested in proximity focusing Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) counters that were exposed to cosmic-ray particles in Ljubljana, and a 2 GeV electron beam at the KEK research facility. This type of RICH detector is a candidate for the particle identification detector upgrade of the BELLE detector at the KEK B-factory, for which th...
متن کاملIntercalibration of Cherenkov Telescopes in Telescope Arrays
A simple analysis technique is described which allows to intercalibrate the response of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes in stereoscopic telescope arrays at a level of 1-2%. With the next-generation imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes currently under construction, stereoscopic arrays of telescopes such as VERITAS [1], CANGAROO III [2] and H.E.S.S. [3] play a dominant role. Stereosc...
متن کاملCherenkov luminescence measurements with digital silicon photomultipliers: a feasibility study
BACKGROUND A feasibility study was done to assess the capability of digital silicon photomultipliers to measure the Cherenkov luminescence emitted by a β source. Cherenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) is possible with a charge coupled device (CCD) based technology, but a stand-alone technique for quantitative activity measurements based on Cherenkov luminescence has not yet been developed. Silico...
متن کاملA method to enhance the sensitivity of photomultipliers for air Cherenkov telescopes
A simple method to enhance the sensitivity of photomultipliers (PMTs) will be described. The method is based on applying onto the cathode window a specially prepared lacquer containing a wavelength shifter (WLS). A rapidly evaporating lacquer solvent results in a milky surface that acts as a photon scatterer. Applying the method to the ET 9116A PMT (hemispherical borosilicate window and Rubidiu...
متن کاملProspects for Cherenkov Telescope Array Observations of the Young Supernova
We perform simulations for future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observations of RX J1713.7−3946, a young supernova remnant (SNR) and one of the brightest sources ever discovered in very-high-energy (VHE) gamma rays. Special attention is paid to explore possible spatial (anti-)correlations of gamma rays with emission at other wavelengths, in particular X-rays and CO/Hi emission. We present a s...
