Introduction SiPM (G-APD, MPPC, …) have many advantages compared to APD and PMT: • High gain • Low Voltage • Fast Timing • Compact size • Low cost • Compatible with magnetic fields
Calorimeter Tests of SiPMs CALICE-HCAL (ILC): CAlorimeter for the Linear Collider Experiment
Goals • Previous results: • SiPMs (1 × 1 mm2) • New results: • 2 x 2 SiPM array (6 × 6 mm2) • Strong Magnetic Field (7 Tesla) 1 mm
Materials Bruker BioSpec 70/20 USR 7 Tesla LIM – Hospital Gregorio Marañón
Experimental Setup 1.- Single crystal LYSO crystal (10 × 10 × 20 mm3) SiPM covers 36% of scintillator base 22Na
Pulse Shape NO preamplifier
Gain vs Voltage T=20ºC
Gain vs Temperature Bias = 69.0 V
Energy spectra 22Na ΔE@511 keV = 14% Bias = 69.0 V T = 20ºC
Experimental Setup 2.- Crystal matrix 4 × 4 LYSO matrix (1.5 × 1.5 × 12 mm3) 18F
Flood Field Image • 18F • 68.2 V - 20ºC • 5·105 counts • Software • Anger logic
Flood Field Image • 18F • 68.2 V - 20ºC • 5·105 counts • Software • Anger logic Peak to valley ratio = 10:1
Crystal Energy Spectrum • 18F • 68.2 V - 20ºC • 3·104 • counts/crystal
Conclusions • The 2 × 2 SiPM array from Hamamatsu shows very good suitability for its use in the presence of strong magnetic fields. • Monitoring of Temperature and Voltage is needed to correct gain variations. • Combination with LYSO crystals shows potential to obtain energy resolution below 10% @ 511 keV. • The 4 × 4 crystal array of 1.5 mm pitch size was perfectly resolved with negligible differences at 0 and 7 Tesla.
