Abstract
The goal of the planed fixed target experiment SHiP (Search for Hidden Particles) at CERNs SPS (Super Proton Synchrotron) accelerator is the direct search for hidden non-Standard Model particles. One of the main backgrounds consists of random combinations of muons that accidentally form a vertex inside the decay volume. For this purpose a timing detector with a time resolution better than 100 ps has to be developed [1]. Our group is involved in studies for a setup with scintillating bars read-out by Silicon Photo Multiplier (SiPM) arrays. To characterize the SiPMs extensive measurements are necessary to determine the dependance of Dark Count Rate (DCR), Cross Talk (CT) and timing resolution from voltage and trigger threshold.
