Characterization of the basic unit in a multi-channel SiPM muography detector using cosmic muons

We report on laboratory tests performed on the basic unit of a muon detector using cosmic-ray muons. The basic unit consists of a scintillator bar with an optical fiber and two SiPM devices collecting the light signal at both ends of the fiber. The aim of the tests is to determine the temporal resol...

Zusammenfassung:We report on laboratory tests performed on the basic unit of a muon detector using cosmic-ray muons. The basic unit consists of a scintillator bar with an optical fiber and two SiPM devices collecting the light signal at both ends of the fiber. The aim of the tests is to determine the temporal resolution of this base unit using the time-of-flight method also taking into account specific requirements for muography applications.
