6. 4. Setup of beta-ray test We connected scintillator and MPPC through wavelength sifter fiber and tried beta ray test Measurement conditions  Scintillator : 10x40x2mm strip type (surface : 3M mirror sheet)  MPPC : first MPPC (100pixels), Bias 49.1V  Source : 90Sr (beta-ray)  WLS fiber : Φ1.0mm, length 20cm, Y-11 (Kuraray)  Trigger : scintillator + PMT Setup

9. Results cont… number of photon from fiber Light spread loss from fiber PDE PMT readout MPPC readout QE Checked number of photon from fiber Both readout (MPPC and PMT) type use same condition scintillator and fiber So, number of photon from fiber must be same Efficiency is different between MPPC and PMT We can’t discuss the merits to compare only number of photoelectron or pixel We considered,,, Efficiency for MPPC readout Particle detection effect (PDE; ε) Light spread loss from fiber Efficiency for PMT readout Only quantum efficiency (QE)

10. Results cont… We considered to PDE and light spread loss from fiber The optical resin is coated on detection surface of MPPC  Light spread from fiber and MPPC has light loss  43% loss for 1.0mm diameter fiber PDE (ε) = ε geom ×QE×ε guiger = 50%×80% (at 49.1V) = ~40% Light spread loss from fiber N photons = 15.8 (photons) Consider to light loss -> Number of photon from fiber = ~28(photons) Number of photon for MPPC detection : N photons ( # of fired pixel : N fired = 6.1, #of total pixel N tot = 100 )
