[Triumf-seminars] TRIUMF Particle Phys/SciTec Seminar today at 12:15

Fri May 8 05:00:00 PDT 2015

Date/Time: Fri 2015-05-08 at 12:15

Location:  Auditorium          

Speaker:   Tom  Feusels (UBC)

Title:     Characterization of PMTs with the Photosensor Testing Facility

Abstract: The sensitivity of the SuperKamiokande (SK) detector and the future HyperKamiokande (HK) detector to the neutrino mass hierarchy and CP violation highly depends on the detailed knowledge of the photomultiplier tubes. In order to reduce the detector uncertainties for the SK experiment and to develop the future photosensors for HK a photosensor testing facility (PTF) is being built at TRIUMF. It is designed to perform automated precision measurements of the optical properties of a PMT in ultrapure water.
I will discuss the current status of the PTF and its first measurements.
