Item Notes
Portable Enclosure Modified Big Zarges Waterproof Wheeled Equipment Case.

Features mount for scintillator and PMT, opening for beam, and ports for SHV, BNC, SMA, Camera Link cables.
Hole for sensor powering.
Mylar window with Al support mounted to internal face: approximately light-tight.

Scintillator stack TO BE UPDATED 15 x 2 mm, 15 x 2.6 mm and 1 x 3 mm sheets in ascending order from the back of the scintillator to the front/beam. Except for sheet number 21 (2mm) which is placed at the end (away end from the beam) of the stack because of a crack in the sheet. Sheet numbers from front to end (in beam direction): 31,25,24,23,20,16,12,11,9,8,6,5,4,3,2,1,30,29,28,27,26,22,19,18,17,15,14,13,10,7,21.
ISDI CMOS sensor sensor pixel dimension: 1030 x 1536. NO optical grease between scintillator and sensor. Connected to DAQ PC via Camera Link cable.
DAQ desktop PC Controls sensor aquisition.
Gloves For handling scintillator

Item Notes
Portable Enclosure Modified Big Zarges Waterproof Wheeled Equipment Case.

Features mount for scintillator and PMT, opening for beam, and ports for SHV, BNC, SMA, Camera Link cables.
Hole for sensor powering.
Mylar window with Al support mounted to internal face: approximately light-tight.
BNC output from case connected to BNC to SMA adaptor.

Single Module Scintillator Blocks x5 1cm/3cm/5cm x 10cm x 10cm standard scintillator block. Optical gel required to couple Scintillator to PMT. 5cm and 3cm with black wrapping. 5cm, 3cm, 1cm mylar wrapping.
Photomultiplier Tube Hamamatsu R13089 2"
Caen DT5751 Digitiser Records PMT output, connected via SMA-MCX conversion. Used channel 3.
Caen NDT1470 HV Supply Supplies HV to PMT
USB Cable Caen units to DAQ PC
DAQ desktop PC Controls Caen HV supply; records data from Caen digitiser.
Male-to-Male SMA Cable x3 Signal from enclosure port to digitiser. Short/Light and Long cables connected via SMA to SMA connector.

If scope used: SMA splitter + SMA cable + SMA to BNC adaptor used to split the input signal and send it both to scope and digitiser.

DC-4200 MHz Signal Splitter Splits SMA signal to two SMA signals – sent to Oscilloscope and Digitiser.
Female-to-Female SMA Connector Connects Long SMA cable to Short/Light SMA cable.
Female-to-Female BNC to SMA Connector x2 From case to SMA cable (or splitter); From SMA cable to scope.
Male SMA to Male MCX Adaptor Sends output from SMA cable to Digitiser
Gloves For handling scintillator
