Description
We present the performances and characterization of an array made of S13370-3050CN (VUV4 generation) Multi-Pixel Photon Counters manufactured by Hamamatsu and equipped with a low power consumption preamplifier for operations in liquid xenon environment. The electronics is designed for the readout of a 8×8 matrix of individual photosensors and it is based on a single operational amplifier (Analog Devices AD8011). A biasing correction circuit has been implemented for the gain equalization of photosensors operating at different voltages. We present the results of the characterization which show a distinct single photon detection capability that makes this device a promising choice for future generation of large scale dark matter detectors based on liquid xenon.
