The focus of the work is to participate in the commissioning of one detector plate for Time of Flight Positron Emission Tomography. It involves development and calibration of complex particle detectors, electronics and software systems. Image reconstruction will also be part of the work.
The topic of this thesis is to characterize fast shaping SiPMs (SensL), measure the time resolution and compare the devices to other SiPM types. The fast shaping SiPMs are an interesting alternative for the readout of scintillation light in the Mu3e Tile detector.
The topic of this thesis is to develop an automatized test-stand for Silicon Photomultipliers. This involves setting up and optimizing the experimental setup, automatizing the DAQ and testing and optimizing the software data analysis.
The topic of this thesis is to measure the optical cross-talk between two scintillators for the Mu3e experiment. Different optical isolation options can be studies, as well as the influence on the time resolution of the system.
