An APD for the Detection of the Fast Scintillation Component of BaF_2
2016
Barium fluoride crystals are the baseline choice for
the calorimeter of the Mu2e experiment at Fermilab. By utilizing
the fast 220 nm scintillation component (0.9 ns decay time) and discriminating
against the larger slow component at 300 nm (650 ns
decay time), it is possible to build a radiation hard calorimeter
with good energy and time resolution and high rate capability. This
requires a solid state photosensor with high quantum efficiency at
220 nm, discrimination against the 300 nm component, and fast
rise and decay times. Progress on the development of such a sensor
will be discussed.
