Starting cold operations again
May 7, 2017 With Dr. Adriano Di Giovanni gone to the School of Statistics in Ischia (lucky guy), Valerio and I start operations again with the HR11410 PMT. We have a full dewar of LN2 but it will hardly suffice for the first round of measurements. Unfortunately, we have to stop operations with the temperature […]
Continue readingWorking again on the PMT – SiPM comparison
May 4, 2017 Thanks to the idea of a new set-up that allows for a direct transmission of UV light, we have begun again to take data with the monochromator, the Hamamatsu R11410, and the silicon photomultipliers. All goes well with the SiPM, we managed to get to the temperature we wanted with a clever […]
