Description
Extruded scintillator with wavelength shifting (wls) fiber for light collection and silicon avalanche photo-detection (SiPMs), followed by modest amplification remains an attractive candidate for large area counters such as are required for muon detectors/tail catchers for collider detectors. We report on R&D for the optimization of such detectors which has included the development of ad hoc SiPMs and frontend electronics with 12 bit waveform digitization at 100 – 200 MHz. Bias voltage is generated locally and provision is made for on board data storage and fast transfer to a local PC for immediate analysis. In addition to describing the data collection and counter assembly we will present representative data results from tests performed at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility.
