Description
The detection of neutrinos requires large volume detector systems, often based on scintillation materials or the Cherenkov effect. Large area visible light photon counters are a major cost factor for these modern experiments. Wave-length shifting plates coupled to SiPM are studied as a viable alternative for large area photon sensing. The properties of a developed prototype, its efficiency, timing and noise characteristics are described and evaluated in comparison to conventional vacuum photon sensors.
