The SIB332 sensor interface board provides the electrical and mechanical connectivity between a Hamamatsu S8550 4 x 8 element APD array and a Vertilon PhotoniQ multi-channel data acquisition system.

The SIB332 sensor interface board provides the electrical and mechanical connectivity between a Hamamatsu S8550 series 4 x 8 element APD array and a Vertilon PhotoniQ multi-channel DAQ system. The S8550 mounts directly to the SIB332 where electrical connections to the 32 APD anodes are routed to a micro-coaxial cable assembly that connects the APD outputs to the PhotoniQ. The negative high voltage bias to the APD array is made through a separate dedicated connector that connects to the high voltage output from the PhotoniQ. Also available on the SIB332 are two outputs that are used in conjunction with the APD array’s common cathode current signal — an amplified version of the signal and a pulse discriminator trigger output.

SIB1256 Sensor Interface Board for SensL SPMArray4

Tel: 978-692-7070

The SIB1256 sensor interface board allows up to four SensL SPMArray4 silicon photomultiplier arrays (SiPM) to easily interface to a Vertilon PhotoniQ multichannel data acquisition system.

The SIB1256 allows up to four SensL SPMArray4 SiPM devices to interface to a Vertilon PhotoniQ multichannel data acquisition system. The devices are inserted into the board where their anode signals are routed to cable assemblies that connect the 64 device outputs to the PhotoniQ. Bias to SiPM arrays is provided by four on-board adjustable high voltage bias supplies that include a voltage trimming function for gain matching between the arrays. A special current-sense output from each bias supply is summed together to represent the total AC charge signal measured by all four SiPM arrays. This signal is fed into a user-programmable leading edge discriminator that generates a trigger signal when an event exceeding a preset energy threshold is detected on any of the SPMArray4 devices.

The IAEA Board of Governors has elected the Governor for Pakistan, Mr. Ansar Parvez, as its Chairman for 2010-2011 (one year mandate) at a meeting held today in Vienna.

Mr. Parvez is also serving as the Chairman of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission.

The Ambassadors and Resident Representatives of Denmark and Ukraine were also elected as Vice-Chairmen. They are Mr. John Hartmann Bernhard, Governor for Denmark, and Ms. Olena Mykolaichuk, Governor for Ukraine.

Eleven countries were elected last week to serve on the 35-member IAEA Board of Governors for the two-year period 2010-2012. The action was taken by Member States meeting at the IAEA General Conference in Vienna. The newly elected Board members are Belgium, the Czech Republic, Chile, Ecuador, Italy, Jordan, Niger, Portugal, Singapore, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates.

Other Member States represented on the IAEA Board during 2010-2011 are Argentina, Australia, Azerbaijan, Cameroon, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Japan, Kenya, the Republic of Korea, Mongolia, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Peru, Russian Federation, South Africa, Ukraine, the UK, the USA and Venezuela.
