https://doi.org/10.26583/vestnik.2023.268
Abstract
The paper presents an installation for studying a number of parameters of assemblies based on silicon photomultipliers and scintillation crystals, such as noise characteristics, gain and temperature stability of SiPM. The installation also allows you to shoot single-electron spectra, study energy and time resolution, light output, as well as temperature stability of various scintillators. A block diagram of the installation is given and the principle of its operation is described. The necessary macros for mathematical packages have been developed, as well as software for collecting, processing and storing data from a temperature sensor in the form of an MFC application on Windows OS. The results of testing the operating parameters of the installation, confirming its functionality, are presented, comments and shortcomings requiring corrections and improvements are identified. With the help of the installation, studies were carried out on the study of temperature dependences, the dependences of energy resolutions on the scintillation crystal and on the silicon photomultiplier, and a single-electron spectrum was obtained for further study and measurement of the relative light output for various scintillators based on the reference.
