摘要
The liquid xenon (LXe) gamma-ray detector for the MEG II experiment is based on a highly granular scintillation readout with Multi Pixel Photon Counters (MPPCs). Here we report on the development of a large area MPPC sensitive to LXe scintillation light in deep -UV range for the MEG II LXe detector. A prototype model of the deep -UV MPPC with an active area of 12 x 12 mm2 was successfully tested in LXe LXe, showing an excellent performance such as a high photon detection efficiency for the LXe scintillation light (about 207 at Delta V = 2.5 V), a high internal gain (about 10(6) at Delta V = 2.5 V) and an excellent single photoelectron resolution. The sensor chip of the MPPC is segmented into four sectors, which arc then connected in series in order to reduce the overall sensor capacitance. The signal fall time of about 135 ns for the non segmented sensor was significantly reduced down to 25 ns with the series connected sensor segments. The preliminary results on the performance of the deep DV MPPC arc presented. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
