Fast Charged Particle Detector with High Dynamic Range at Horizon-10T Cosmic Rays Detector System
Abstract
Horizon-10T (H10T) detector system is constructed to study the Extensive Air Showers (EAS) with energy of the primary particle above 1016 eV. Detector system consists of 10 detection points. The aim of the H10T is the detailed study of the spatial and temporal structure of EAS events. For that purpose, each detection point should have high time resolution and high dynamic range, so that fast time response of the components is needed. H10T detection points are equipped with the PMT-based particle detectors with large detection area and ∼2 ns pulse rise time that are currently among the fastest. Such detector consists of the 2 cm thick glass as the detection medium and Hamamatsu R7723 photomultiplier tube in a pyramidal shape. The detectors are calibrated to single minimum ionizing particle (MIP) signal and have a linear dynamic range up to 3000 MIP. Simulation, construction and calibration of this glass detector is presented.
