19th Rencontres du Vietnam
2nd Hardware Camp for Fast and Low-Light detection
Date: Feb. 26th - Mar. 4th, 2023
Location: ICISE center, Quy Nhon, Vietnam
Application submission is closed
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.
This is the 2nd hardware camp in the series. The 1st hardware camp can be found at here

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 Feb. 26th (Sun.), 2023. The hardware camp is expected to finish by 3pm on Mar. 4th (Sat.), 2023
The primary goal is to provide students with hands-on experience with basic particle and nuclear physics hardware as well as data analysis software. This will also serve as a forum for those with an interest in this type of hardware and techniques.
