Multichannel Measurement System for Data Acquisition From Silicon Photomultiplier Arrays

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

The MMIS-32 scaled multichannel measurement system, which is based on 32-channel charge-to-digital converters and has been developed and built, is described here. This system is intended for data acquisition from arrays of silicon photomultipliers used as multichannel photosensors in scintillation detectors. The basic parameters of the measurement system are presented.
