(INFN, Bologna ; Bologna U., Dept. Astron.) ; Di Giovenale, D. (Frascati) ; Di Giulio, C. (Frascati) et al.
The light yield, the time resolution and the efficiency of different types of scintillating tiles with direct Silicon Photomultiplier readout and instrumented with a customised front-end electronics have been measured at the Beam Test Facility of Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati and several test stands. The results obtained with different configurations are presented. [...]

First results on new helium based eco-gas mixtures for the Extreme Energy Events Project
/ EEE Collaboration
The Extreme Energy Events (EEE) Project, a joint project of the Centro Fermi (Museo Storico della Fisica e Centro Studi e Ricerche "E.Fermi") and INFN, has a dual purpose: a scientific research program on cosmic rays at ground level and an intense outreach and educational program. The project consists in a network of about 60 tracking detectors, called telescopes, mostly hosted in Italian High Schools. [...]

Understanding the direct detection of charged particles with SiPMs

In this paper evidence that the increased response of SiPM sensors to the passage of charged particles is related mainly to Cherenkov light produced in the protection layer is reported. The response and timing properties of sensors with different protection layers have been studied..

(INFN, Bologna ; Bologna U. ; INFN, Bologna ; Bologna U. ; INFN, Bologna) ; Meregaglia, A. (Strasbourg, IPHC ; Louis Pasteur U., Strasbourg I) et al.
The longitudinal segmentation of shashlik calorimeters is challenged by dead zones and non-uniformities introduced by the light collection and readout system. This limitation can be overcome by direct fiber-photosensor coupling, avoiding routing and bundling of the wavelength shifter fibers and embedding ultra-compact photosensors (SiPMs) in the bulk of the calorimeter.

Measurements of the Cherenkov effect in direct detection of charged particles with SiPMs
/ Carnesecchi, F. (CERN) ; Sabiu, B. (Bologna U. ; INFN, Bologna) ; Strazzi, S. (Bologna U. ; INFN, Bologna) ; Vignola, G. (INFN, Bologna) ; Agrawal, N. (Bologna U. ; INFN, Bologna) ; Alici, A.

In this paper, different Silicon PhotoMultiplier (SiPM) sensors have been tested with charged particles to characterize the Cherenkov light produced in the sensor protection layer. A careful position scan of the SiPM response has been performed with different prototypes, confirming the large number of firing cells and proving almost full efficiency, with the SiPM filling factor essentially negligible.
