Example plot from the paper: measured and fitted charge spectra

A Python program to characterize silicon photomultipliers has been developed in our group: the PeakOTron.
This program can fit a published detector response model to SiPM charge spectra and extract various detector parameters.

The article describing this PeakOTron module has just been submitted to a journal for publication. If you are curious, you can already find a preprint online: arXiv:2301.11833

First testbeam of the year

Last week we had our first testbeam of the year. This time, we took data in area T24 of the DESY II test beam facility to test Low Gain Avalanch Diodes (LGADs) at different voltages and under different beam incidence angles.

PhD defense Saiva Helga Rosalie Huck

Saiva Huck defended her thesis on "From the efficient trapping and accumulation of cooled antiprotons towards the formation of a pulsed beam of antihydrogen atoms".

Congratulations, Saiva!
