Online measurement of the BEPCⅡ background using RadFET dosimeters

To monitor the integral dose deposited in the BESⅢ electromagnetic calorimeter whose performance degrades due to exposure to the BEPC Ⅱ background, a 400 nm IMPL RadFET dosimeter-based integral dose online monitor system is built, After calibration with the ^60Co source and verification with TLD in the pulse radiation fields, an experiment was arranged to measure the BEPC Ⅱ background online. The results are presented.

Silicon photomultiplier readout system for the ECAL in the PEBS and test results from the system

Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) have remarkable advantages for use in photo-detection. Compared with PMT, SiPM shows advantages of high gain, excellent time resolution, insensitivity to magnetic fields and a lower operating voltage. SiPMs from Hamamatsu are used in the electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) sub-detector in the Positron Electron Balloon Spectrometer (PEBS) experiment, a balloon-borne spectrometer experiment aiming at the precise measurement of the cosmic-ray positron fraction. This paper introduces the evaluation and test results of several SiPM detector types, the dedicated front-end application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) electronics and the design of the data acquisition system (DAQ) system.
