A Sensor Employing an Array of Silicon Photomultipliers for Detection of keV Ions in Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry
/ Mariscal-Castilla, Antonio (Barcelona U.) ; Piller, Markus (CERN) ; Alozy, Jerome (CERN) ; Ballabriga, Rafael (CERN) ; Campbell, Michael (CERN) ; de la Torre, Oscar (Barcelona U.) ; Gascón, David (Barcelona U.) ; Gómez, Sergio (Barcelona, Polytechnic U.) ; Heathcote, David (Oxford U.) ; Mauricio, Joan (Barcelona U.) et al.
Pixellated scintillation detectors have the potential to overcome several limitations of conventional microchannel-plate-based detectors employed in time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ToF-MS), such as extending detector lifetime, reducing vacuum requirements, or increasing the ion throughput. We have developed a prototype comprising a fast organic scintillator (Exalite 404) coupled to an array of 16 silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs), with read-out electronics based on the FastIC application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).
