Silicon Photomultipler Readout Board Part II

Written By McMaster Space Technology Research Initiative

Earlier we learned about Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) and how they are used in the radiation detection process. Above we have 32 SiPMs attached to the readout board. This board is currently being analyzed by Alex, an electrical engineering student, to test the functionality of this component of the onboard radiation detector.
