Institute For Interdisciplinary Research in Science and Education
Hardware Camp for Fast and Low-Light detection
Date: March 6th-11th, 2022
Location: ICISE center, Quy Nhon, Vietnam
Deadline for application: January 31st, 2022
Here, "fast" refers to nanoseconds, and "low-light" refers to a few to hundreds of photoelectrons. The goal is to give students hands-on experience with the single photo-resolving photomultiplier (siPM and PMT), plastic scintillator, light source, electronic, and data acquisition (DAQ) used in particle and nuclear physics experiments.
Hardwares Program Lecturers/Mentors
Hardwares to explore
What do we have for the camp: Silicon-based photomultiplier (siPM; multiple types; power supply and circuit to work with); light source (LED; LED driver; and cosmic rays); plastic scintillator (various sizes); wavelength shifting fiber; NIM electronic module (amplifier, discriminator, coincidence, scaler, ...) to manipulate the analog signals; oscilloscope; fast analog-to-digital converter (ADC); optical components (fiber splitter, diffuser..) and other additional components. Following are few snapshots.
Program
Students are expected to check in the hotel/ guest house on Dec. 6th (Sunday), 2022. The hardware camp is expected to finish by 4pm on Mar. 11 (Friday), 2022
The primary goal is to provide hands-on experience with basic hardware in particle and nuclear physics, as well as relevant data analysis software. This is also to create a forum for those who are interested in these types of hardware and techniques.
To be updated for a detailed program.
