Description
The aim of the seminar is to discuss how a generic photo-detection
module for astroparticle physics should look like.
We will try to review different enabling technologies: sensors,
Application Specific Circuits (ASICs) used for different
functionalities, reconfigurable read-outs, integration technologies,
etc.
Then, we will try to summarize what should be basic requirements for
astroparticle physics experiments and other potential applications.
We will present some developments being carried out in the ICCUB which
go in this direction along with some ideas for future developments.
In summary, we will try to provide material to debate the feasibility
of such "universal" module and to try to answer some questions:
What should be its requirements? Are the present enabling technologies
sufficient? How can we reach this goal?
