  1. 65. The KM3NeT Digital Optical Module
    Daniele Vivolo
    14/09/2015, 14:20
    KM3NeT is a European deep-sea multidisciplinary research infrastructure in the Mediterranean Sea. It will host a km3-scale neutrino telescope and dedicated instruments for long-term and continuous measurements for Earth and Sea sciences. The KM3NeT neutrino telescope is a 3-dimensional array of Digital Optical Modules, suspended in the sea by means of vertical string structures, called...

  2. 71. Multi-PMT Optical Module Designs for IceCube-Gen2
    Alexander Kappes (Friedrich-Alexander-Univ. Erlangen (DE))
    14/09/2015, 14:50
    IceCube-Gen2 is the planned next generation neutrino telescope at the South Pole incorporating a high-energy array for neutrino astronomy and a dense array (PINGU) aimed at the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy. The contribution presents alternatives to IceCube-Gen2’s single-PMT baseline design which are currently being developed. These designs feature up to 24 smaller...

  3. 29. The optical module of the Baikal-GVD
    Алексей Шейфлер
    14/09/2015, 15:20
    The Baikal-GVD neutrino telescope in Lake Baikal is intended for studying astrophysical neutrino fluxes by recording the Cherenkov radiation of the secondary muons and showers generated in neutrino interactions. The first stage of Baikal-GVD will be equipped with about 2300 optical modules. Each of these optical modules consists of a large area photomultiplier R7081-100 made by Hamamatsu...

  6. 61. The VSIPMT project
    Francesco Di Capua (INFN)
    15/09/2015, 11:20
    The VSiPMT (Vacuum Silicon PhotoMultiplier Tube) is an innovative design for a revolutionary hybrid photodetector. The idea, born with the purpose to use a SiPM for large detection volumes, consists in replacing the classical dynode chain with a SiPM. In this configuration, we match the large sensitive area of a photocathode with the performances of the SiPM technology, which therefore...

  8. 105. Latest improvements of the Hamamatsu MPPCs
    Dr Christian Dille (Hamamatsu Photonics Deutschland GmbH)
    15/09/2015, 12:00
    In the year 2014 a new generation of low cross-talk MPPCs has been introduced. Due to further improvements in the manufacturing processes, it is now possible to commercially offer MPPCs, which combine low cross-talk and low after pulse features with a significantly increased photo-detection efficiency (PDE). Besides the capability to manufacture large sized MPPC arrays with high element fill...

  9. 48. The effects of Earth's magnetic field on 3-inch diameter photomultipliers used in KM3NeT neutrino telescope.
    Valentina Giordano (INFN)
    15/09/2015, 12:20
    Photomultipliers are widely used in astroparticle physics detectors to measure Cherenkov light in media like water or ice. KM3NeT neutrino telescope will be the largest underwater neutrino telescope and will be located in the abyss of the Mediterranean Sea. The detection principle is based on the measurement of the Cherenkov light induced by relativistic charged particles emerging from an...
