Readout tiles #10

Closed dguff closed 11 months ago

dguff commented 2 years ago

Integrate the SOLAr readout tiles. According to the preliminary design, a single readout tile consists of a 10×10 cm² PCB with ~100 6×6 mm² SiPM installed and the rest covered by charge readout pixels.

First implementation with nested G4Replicas in c7010548df2b5b5bb33d6ab3b10c631da95db2f5. Result appears sensible image

Probably wiser to drop the charge readout pixels for reducing memory consumption (at least when interactively exploring the geometry).

Readout tiles configuration included in output file with issue #14 . Now rebasing on this branch.

dguff commented 2 years ago

The number finite size of the SiPM height gives a significant contribution to the number of detected photon. Building a "capsule" to optically insulate the sides of the SiPM active area.
