The photomultiplier tube testing facility for the Borexino experiment at LNGS
A facility to test the photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) for the solar neutrino detector Borexino was built at the Gran Sasso laboratory. Using the facility 2200 PMTs with optimal characteristics were selected from the 2350 delivered from the manufacturer. The details of the hardware used are presented. r 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.
متن کاملStatus of Borexino experiment and Physics results with its Counting Test Facility (CTF)
Borexino is a solar neutrino experiment located under the Gran Sasso mountain in Italy. It is currently in the commissioning phase and will start taking data in 2007. Its main goal is to detect low-energy neutrinos coming from the sun in real-time, via the scattering reaction ν e − → ν e−. Borexino exploits 300 tons of liquid scintillator as active target for neutrinos and 2200 photomultiplier ...

متن کاملNew method for measuring ultralow levels
Since more than two years the so-called Counting Test Facility (CTF), the prototype of the BOREXINO solar neutrino experiment, is taking data at the underground laboratories of the LNGS. During its construction and the period of data taking a new method for measuring radioactivity at ultralow levels has been developed. This method is based on a well known type of detector, on miniaturized propo...
متن کاملMeasurements 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...
