Overview

CAEN realized different modular Educational Kits. The set-up are all based on Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) state of-the-art sensor of light with single photon sensitivity and unprecedented photon number capability. The goal is to inspire students and guide them towards the analysis and comprehension of different physics phenomena with a series of experiments based on state-of-the art technologies, instruments and methods. The Educational Photon kit allows to explore the quantum nature of phenomena that is one of the most exiting experiences a physics student can live.

What’s inside

blank
The SP5600 is a General purpose Power Supply and Amplification Unit, integrating up to two SiPMs in a mother & daughter architecture allowing for easy mounting and replacement of the sensors. The basic configuration features two channels with independent gain control up to 50 dB and provides the bias voltage (up to 100 V) to the sensors with gain stabilization. Each channel can provide a digital output generated by the fast leading edge discriminators. A timing coincidence of the two channels is also available.

The DT5720A is a CAEN Desktop Waveform digitizer housing 2 channels 12 bit 250 MS/s ADC with a dedicated charge integrating firmware for real time pulse processing.
A315 photo
The SP5601 is an ultra-fast LED Driver with pulse width at ns level, tunable intensity and frequency, that provides a low-cost tool for the detector characterization. The LED pulse generation can be triggered by an internal oscillator or by an external pulser.
SP5608 photo
The SP5650C is a sensor holder provided in the Educational Photon kit. The holder hosts a 1.3×1.3 mm2 Silicon Photo-Multipliers; moreover, a probe inside the holders senses temperature variations, thus allowing the user to compensate for possible gain instability. The SP5650C is made of a mechanical structure providing a FC fiber connector and a PCB where the SiPM is soldered

HERA – Software Suite for CAEN Educational Kit

HERA (Handy Educational Radiation Application) is a modern and flexible platform for teaching the fundamentals of Statistics, Particles Detection, and Nuclear Imaging thanks to the simple graphical interfaces and the embedded documentation.
