Abstract
This paper discusses a prototype liquid scintillator detector, methods for retrieving information from it, and the potential use of Winston cones and Fresnel lenses. The application of Fresnel lenses and Cherenkov radiation for kiloton-size detectors was evaluated. The 128-channel data acquisition system MDU3-GI64X2 produced by AiT Instruments was used as an information acquisition system. Two ArrayJ-60035-64P-PCB matrices (SensL, Ireland), which consist of 64 individual J-series silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs), were used as receivers. Using photosensors based on such matrices in scintillation detectors is supposed to enable the acquisition of event images (snapshots), the analysis of which will provide a fundamental opportunity to differentiate various classes of events within the detectors.
