Development of a SiPM camera module for the focal plane of the SCT telescope proposed for the Cherenkov Telescope Array

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the new generation of ground observatories for the detection of very high energy γ-rays. The Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) is developing a possible solution for the Cherenkov photon cameras based on Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) detectors sensitive to near ultraviolet energies. This contribution reviews the procedures for the assembly of 4 × 4 SiPM modules intended to equip a possible upgrade of the focal camera of the Schwarzschild-Couder optics Medium Size Telescope (SCT) proposed for CTA
