sPHENIX discussion of electronics

[Nathan Grau <ngrau AT augie.edu>]

Hi all,

With a suggestion from Eric, I just submitted the following abstract to DNP.

Thanks,

Nathan

Validation of Production SiPMs for the sPHENIX Experiment

The sPHENIX detector is designed to measure calorimetric jets and heavy flavors 
to study the microscopic properties of the quark-gluon plasma produced in 
ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC. The electromagnetic and 
hadronic calorimeters will cover full azimuth and |$\eta$|<1. The calorimeters 
are readout through common electronics and use silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) 
as the optical sensor. The full detector requires 106,000 SiPMs, with the 
Hamamatsu S12572-015P having been chosen as the device to instrument the full 
detector. The production of this large order is ongoing and monthly shipments 
of 8,500 SiPMs began arriving at the University of Michigan in March of 2019. 
In this talk we outline the test stand developed at the University of Debrecen, 
the strategy to validate the SiPMs received, and the results of that evaluation.

With everything going on, I missed the fact that abstracts for DNP 2019
are due in a couple of days, July 1, 2019.  If anyone is interested in
submitting an abstract for DNP please post to this list for consideration.
