2454. Multi-PMTs for NuPRISM/E61

Thomas Hermann Lindner (TRIUMF (CA))

Applied Physics and Instrumentation / Physique appliquée et de l'instrumentation (DAPI / DPAI)

Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

Abstract: We are using multi-PMTs (mPMTs) as the photosensors for NuPRISM/E61, the proposed intermediate water Cherenkov detector for the Hyper-Kamiodande experiment. The Canadian mPMT design has nineteen 3" PMTs enclosed in a water-tight pressure vessel, along with the associated electronics. The 3" PMTs provide excellent spatial imaging of the neutrino-induced Cherenkov light ring. This...

2490. Introduction to 3D Digital SiPM and Latest Results for Particle Physics

Prof. Jean-Francois Pratte (Université de Sherbrooke)

6/5/19, 11:00 AM

Applied Physics and Instrumentation / Physique appliquée et de l'instrumentation (DAPI / DPAI)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Conventional analog SiPMs are increasingly used in medical imaging such as positron emission tomography (PET) and are good candidates for particle physics detectors such as nEXO and DarkSide. A new generation of photon counting device called 3D digital SiPM (3DdSiPM) addresses the main limitations of conventional SiPM and offers even more flexibility and signal processing capability. The...

2552. Direct plasmon production from Thomson scattering in SuperCDMS silicon detectors

Applied Physics and Instrumentation / Physique appliquée et de l'instrumentation (DAPI / DPAI)

Oral not-in-competition (Graduate Student) / Orale non-compétitive (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

SuperCDMS (Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search) is an experiment for the direct detection of dark matter with great sensitivity to Compton scattering at low energies where electron binding and crystal structure affect Compton scattering spectra. We can take advantage of the SuperCDMS detector sensitivity to these low energies to look for plasmon production from Thomson scattering in silicon....

2665. Ionization yield measurements for NEWS-G

Marie Vidal

Applied Physics and Instrumentation / Physique appliquée et de l'instrumentation (DAPI / DPAI)

Oral Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

NEWS-G (New Experiments With Spheres-Gas) is a rare event search experiment using Spherical Proportional Counters (SPCs). Primarily designed for the direct detection of dark matter, this technology also has appealing features for Coherent Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CE$\nu$NS) studies using nuclear power plants as a neutrino source.
For both applications, an important property of the gas to...

2533. Analog Electronics and SiPM Characterization for LOLX

Austin de St. Croix (TRIUMF/UBC)

6/5/19, 12:00 PM

Applied Physics and Instrumentation / Physique appliquée et de l'instrumentation (DAPI / DPAI)

Oral Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

The Light Only Liquid Xenon (LOLX) experiment aims to investigate both scintillation and Cherenkov light emission in liquid xenon using 24 Hamamatsu VUV4 Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs). Analog electronics are used to perform summing of 4 SiPM channels prior to signal amplification, with the goal of retaining single photon counting and sub nanosecond timing resolution. Additionally, LOLX aims...
