  • Cosmic Rays: from cosmic rays detection to cosmic vertical flux measurement

  • Beta spectroscopy: from energy spectrum to thickness measurements

  • Radiation-Matter Interaction and Absorption coefficient measurements

  • A complete LabVIEW based software suite for remote control of the system and for data analysis

CAEN realized different modular Educational Kits. The set-up are all based on Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) state of-the-art sensor of light with single photon sensitivity and unprecedented photon number capability. The goal is to inspire students and guide them towards the analysis and comprehension of different physics phenomena with a series of experiments based on state-of-the art technologies, instruments and methods.

What’s inside

  • The SP5600 is a General purpose Power Supply and Amplification Unit, integrating up to two SiPMs in a mother & daughter architecture allowing for easy mounting and replacement of the sensors. The basic configuration features two channels with independent gain control up to 50 dB and provides the bias voltage (up to 100 V) to the sensors with gain stabilization. Each channel can provide a digital output generated by the fast leading edge discriminators. A timing coincidence of the two channels is also available.

  • The DT5720A is a CAEN Desktop Waveform digitizer housing 2 channels 12 bit 250 MS/s ADC with a dedicated charge integrating firmware for real time pulse processing.

  • The SP5608 is a support with a embedded plastic scintillating tile, directly coupled to a SiPM. The tile, with a sensitive volume of 47 x 47 x 10 mm3, is the ideal tool for tests with beta emitting isotopes and cosmic rays. The support structure allows to use the SP5608 stand-alone or to use two tile modules to build a cosmic telescope.
