Abstract

AbstractDespite the rapid advances in solid state technologies such as the silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), microchannel plate (MCP) photomultipliers still offer a proven and practical technological solution for high channel count pixellated photon-counting systems with very high time resolution. We describe progress towards a 256 channel optical photon-counting system using CERN-developed NINO and HTDC ASICs, and designed primarily for time resolved spectroscopy in life science applications.Having previously built and demonstrated a 18mm diameter prototype tube with an 8×8 channel readout configuration and <43ps rms single photon timing resolution, we are currently developing a 40mm device with a 32×32 channel readout. Initially this will b...
