Invited Talk

Precision tracking of charged particles in high-energy physics experiments often relies on ionisation. There are several reasons for that: * ionisation electrons are closely-spaced, even in light media such as gases; * ionisation electrons are produced in the vicinity of the path of the charged particle; * low-energy ionisation electrons are comparatively easy to measure; ...

181. Study of 144-channel Hybrid Avalanche Photo-Detector for Belle II RICH Counter

Contributed Talk

For the Belle II detector, we have been conducting R&D on a proximity focusing ring imaging Cherenkov counter using a silica aerogel as a radiator. For the photodetector, which is one of the most critical components, we have developed a 144-channel Hybrid Avalanche Photo-Detector with Hamamatsu Photonics. This device has 4 chips of avalanche photo-diodes, each being pixelated into 6x6 pads....

133. The development of a high-resolution scintillating fiber tracker with silicon photomultiplier array readout

Gregorio Roper Yearwood (RWTH Aachen University)

Contributed Talk

We present test results from a novel modular scintillating fiber tracker using silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) arrays for readout. The tracker modules are made up from 250µm thin scintillating fibers that are arranged in five tightly packed layers on top and on bottom of a light carbon fiber / Rohacell foam support structure. Novel, custom made SiPM arrays from Hamamatsu with a channel pitch of...
