The Planacon™ square-shaped MCP-PMTs from Photonis have been selected as the photosensors for the Barrel DIRC detector of the PANDA experiment. (PANDA is an acronym of antiProton ANnihilation at DArmstadt.) PANDA is a large particle physics experiment at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), an accelerator complex under construction in Darmstadt. Figure 1 shows … Continue reading

Check out the new white paper by Electro-Optics Technology (EOT) called, “Why Pulse Rise & Fall Times are Different in Photodetector Measurement“. This paper reviews factors that contribute to output pulses of PIN photodetectors causing them to have a longer fall time than rise time. Factors include photocarrier transit effects, diffusion current, saturation, and circuit design. To … Continue reading
