Abstract

We are investigating the feasibility of a new detector concept for use in the beam line at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). The detector is designed to withstand the high ion beam intensities and the high radiation environment while providing position, timing, and energy information. Based on the concept of a fiber detector, the device uses YAG:Ce crystals as sensing material, chosen for their extreme radiation tolerance to electromagnetic or hadronic exposure. The crystals are machined into long and thin rods which are laid out in orthogonal horizontal and vertical arrangements to obtain spatial sensitivity to impinging particles. The readout is performed at the extremities of the rods with strip Multi Pixel Photon Counters (MPPC) also referred to as Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) arrays model S13552 from Hamamatsu mounted on ribbon cables with connector ends.
