Scintillation Light Detection with a Broadcom AFBR-S4N44P163 SiPM Array and a Vertilon PhotoniQ Data Acquisition System
In this application note we describe a simple, plug-and-play, real-world setup that utilizes a Broadcom AFBR-S4N44P163 SiPM array in combination with standard, off-the-shelf equipment from Vertilon. The equipment is configured to continuously capture and measure the scintillation light from a LYSO crystal attached to the SiPM array. The SiPM array is mounted to a Vertilon SIB916 sensor interface board that is in turn connected to a Vertilon PhotoniQ IQSP580 charge integrating, 32 channel data acquisition system (DAQ). A 10 mm cube of LYSO crystal is placed over several elements of the SiPM array with a cesium 137 check disk situated in close proximity.
