A Mini-Telescope for Cosmic Rays
2019-04-10
The mini-telescope was developed for outreach purposes and to investigate the behavior of a readout ASIC coupled to large SiPM sensors. The outreach scope is to increase the interest in gamma-ray astronomy, cosmic rays, as well as detector physics. This project is the result of a collaboration between the Multi-Messenger High-Energy Astrophysics group of the Particle Physics Department (DPNC) and the Department of Astronomy at the...

SENSE Experts Meeting in Vienna
2019-03-19
The SENSE Experts and members of the ICASiPM working groups were invited to discuss latest developments in photosensors in relation to the SENSE Roadmap. During this very productive Meeting in Vienna we had engaging presentations and discussions on the Roadmap.
Low light-level sensors
Detection of light is one of the major, basic principles of measurements and diagnostics in science and many applications. Many applications require single photon detection in various energy domains. The LLL detection in the coming years has the promise of a technology revolution.
