Description
T2K is Tokai to Kamioka long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment (Japan). The goal of the experiment is to measure theta13 neutrino oscillation parameter by nu-e appearance from nu-mu beam. The near off-axis detector, ND280, consists of several sub-detectors in 0.2T magnetic field, with photon readout scheme. This necessitates usage of the efficient, high performance photon detector that can operate in the magnetic field.
For about last ten years, a new generation of the Multi-pixel silicon photo detectors in limited Geiger mode have been available to researchers. They surpass previous generations of silicon photo detectors by featuring high amplification, easy photo-electron calibration, magnetic field non-susceptibility and relatively low cost. This talk will cover general characteristics, operational principle and the large scale deployment of one particular model of these newly available photo detectors.
