Description
ArCLight is a compact dielectric light trap with a large sensitive area, coated with a
thin layer of TPB, and read out by Silicon Photo Multipliers (SiPMs). The ArCLights
were developed at the University of Bern, with the goal of having fast timing and
good spacial resolution. These requirements are particularly driven by the demands
for an efficient tagging of fast neutrons produced in neutrino interactions in liquid
Argon environment.
In this poster the design features, production method, characterization studies and
the photon detection efficiency of the ArCLight modules in liquid Argon, are
presented.
