1. Act#1 (1.5h): safety, lab arrangement, components, rules; light source (LED) driven with 1. Act#1 (1.5h, Feb. 27 AM): safety, lab arrangement, components, rules; light source (LED) driven with waveform generator, arduino or analog discovery; various LED wavelength; soldering a circuit for LED (this is to use with MPPC later, so think a bit about design to easily coupling to MPPC (direct or with optical fibers, mimicking the use of the WLS))

2. Act #2 (1.75h, Feb. 27 PM) oscilloscope, signal generation (with NIM or function generation); MPPC (a SiPM type) circuit,

3. Act #3 (2.75h, Feb. 28 AM): MPPC circuit; soldering, testing signal, pedestal; noise mitigation with Faraday case

4. Act #4 (2.75h, Feb. 28 PM): Light tightening; MPPC characteristics (noise rate, gain, supply voltage dependence; timing response); measure the speed of light in the optical fibers if having time (concept of light detection and ranging or LiDAR in short); NIM modules to use: disciminator and scaler

5. Act #5 (2.75h, Mar. 1 AM): Work in combination of Scintillator, wavelength shifting fiber and photosensor; concept of muon counter; NIM modules to use: discriminator, scaler, coincidence (and delay if needed)

6. Act #6 (2.75h, Mar. 1 PM): Data taking and analysis

7. Act #7 (2.75h, Mar. 2 PM): Data taking and analysis

8. Act #8 (2.75h, Mar. 3 AM): Data taking and analysis

9. Act #9 (2.75h, Mar. 3 PM): Data taking and analysis

• MPPC array 4 x4, model
• One single MPPC: try to soldering; check and suppress the noise. No need amplifier to observe the signal; use along with Matsusada power supply
• 4 plastic scintillator and wavelength shifting fiber
• AiT power supply and amplifier board, model
• Oscilloscope SDS 1104X-E
• Optical fibers (Thorlabs 2m) and unknown
