Abstract content

We have developed a hybrid photo-detector (HPD) for the Ashra detector. The HPD consists of a 6-inch electron tube and a multi-pixel silicon detector followed by trigger decision ASIC circuits. The advanced features of the silicon detector are as follows: 1. high resolution with 64 x 64 channels using bump bonding technique 2. high gain due to a thin dead layer and a large effective area 3. fast response due to electron collection. In this presentation, we will report the design and performance of the HPD.
