The Detector

The current detector design is based on a plastic scintillator, wrapped in different types of foil, and a Silicon Photomultiplier for the collection of scintillation light. In this article, the assembly of a detector module will be explained.

Material List

Independent of the size and shape of the scintillator the following materials are used for building a scintillator detector:

• Kapton stencil
• Teflon foil
• Aluminum foil
• Reflective foil
• Black tape
• Pond Liner (thick black foil)
• Scintillator
• Silicon Photomultiplier on PCB
• Preamplifier
