A System for the Precision Placement of SiPMs on protoDUNE Photon Detector Readout Boards
ORAL
Abstract
The single-phase protoDUNE detector is a prototype of the proposed Deep Underground Neutrino Detector (DUNE) far detector technology. Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) will be used to detect photons collected by the protoDUNE photon detectors. Strict design requirements dictate that the placement of the SiPMs on their readout boards must be extremely precise, about 100 microns in x and y coordinates. To achieve the desired precision, a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine is used. In this presentation I will discuss the placement system, including control software that has been developed.
