Development of readout electronics for silicon photomultiplier detectors

Schemes for optimal readout of signals from silicon detectors are proposed. A method of increasing the detecting area by simple summation of signals from detectors and a readout circuit with minimum power consumption are proposed. Detector pixels based on MicroFJ-60035 silicon photomultipliers for two detector clusters consisting of 28 pixels were created using the developed schemes. The pixel tests were carried out, showing the possibility to register both single photons and high intensity photon streams. A prototype module of the detector camera based on MicroFC-60035 silicon photomultipliers has been designed and developed.
