The Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) is a silicon device capable of single photon detection that was developed in the late ’90s. It is very promising for High Energy Physics and Medical applications. In order to simplify the operation of such a device for the R&D of small detector prototypes in laboratory and test beams, we developed a versatile readout and control system. It is based on a custom electronic board that contains both the analog frontend and the digital acquisition section for eight channels.

Abstract

The Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) is a silicon device capable of single photon detection that was developed in the late ’90s. It is very promising for High Energy Physics and Medical applications. In order to simplify the operation of such a device for the R&D of small detector prototypes in laboratory and test beams, we developed a versatile readout and control system. It is based on a custom electronic board that contains both the analog frontend and the digital acquisition section for eight channels. The system can be easily adapted to a specific setup and provides the biasing, calibration and gain monitoring of SiPMs as well the triggering functionalities and the collection of integrated charge information of the detector under test.
