Microcontroller based data acquisition system for silicon photomultiplier detectors

Silicon photomultpiliers are robust, low voltage sensors capable of measuring low light levels. They are well suited for use in a cosmic ray detector using scintillator embedded with wavelength shifting fibre, designed for lab based and high altitude cosmic ray experiments. The development of such a...

Crynodeb:Silicon photomultpiliers are robust, low voltage sensors capable of measuring low light levels. They are well suited for use in a cosmic ray detector using scintillator embedded with wavelength shifting fibre, designed for lab based and high altitude cosmic ray experiments. The development of such a detector, using an ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller based data acquisition system is discussed. © 2013 IOP Publishing Ltd and Sissa Medialab srl.
