1 Development of Photon Detectors at UC Davis Daniel Ferenc Eckart Lorenz Alvin Laille Physics Department, University of California Davis Work supported partly by DOE, National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), Office of Nonproliferation Research and Engineering

2 Future particle astrophysics projects to study very rare phenomena - Proton Decay - Neutrino Physics - Neutrino Astrophysics - Gamma-ray Astronomy (low detection threshold & wide acceptance angle) - Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (>10 19 ev) - Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay - WIMP Searches

3 SEARCHING FOR RARE AND/OR WEAK RADIATION SOURCES PARTICLE ASTROPHYSICS (new generation of experiments) MEDICAL IMAGING WIDELY ACCESSIBLE MEDICAL DIAGNOSTICS Industrial Mass-Production of Very-large-area cameras NUCLEAR SECURITY (nonproliferation)

4 small pixels small area SCALE Larger pixels HUGE AREA Small animal PET MEDICAL IMAGING Large animal (human) PET Luggage radiation monitoring MARKETS (STEADY, SUBSTANTIAL) SUPER-K NUCLEAR SECURITY PHYSICS ~CONTAINER, TRUCK etc. monitoring UNO, HYPER-K MEMPHIS

5 OUR GOAL A new Technology for Industrial Mass-Production of large photosensor areas, based on modified existing technologies (e.g. the assembly of modern, plasma and field-emission flat-panel TV screens; low production cost ~$1000 per sq. meter) + REAL (non-physics) MARKETS,

6 Several Unconventional Photosensors Flat-Panel ReFerence Camera Concept (Patented) Light Amplifier - general concept ReFerence panels scintillator (fiber) readout QUASAR or SMART PMT in a modified configuration + Geiger-mode APDs SIMPLE Space Imaging Camera Concept for EUSO, OWL, but also ground-based applications (Patented)

7 The Unbeatable Reality of Mr. Liouville Cherenkov angle in water ~40 degrees Full angular coverage Camera surrounds the detector volume

8

9 Cherenkov angle in air < 1 degree, also well defined observational direction, and small angular spread in the EM shower Liouville s theorem allows significant beam area reduction Camera can have a small area MAGIC Telescope Inauguration, October (Photo-W. Ko)

10 Irreducibly Large Illuminated Area strong internal signal concentration Vacuum ( photon photoelectron no more Liouville )

11 OBJECTIVES 1. Large Photosensor Area Coverage High Quantity High Quality Low Price Industrial Mass Production 2. High Detection Efficiency and S/N (collection and quantum efficiency)

12 OBJECTIVES 1. Large Photosensor Area Coverage High Quantity High Quality Low Price Industrial Mass Production WHY NOT ACCOMPLISHED ALREADY???? 2. High Detection Efficiency and S/N

13 Semiconductor Photosensors developed very successfully (but pixel sizes and areas - too small) Vacuum Photosensors (suitable for large-area applications, strong area reduction) did not develop significantly since mid-1960s Why? Because of the Vacuum?

14 Development of Other Vacuum Devices ~1960 ~2000 Production Cost: < $1,000 per m 2

15 1. Dielectric 2. Patterned Resister Layer 3. Cathode Glass 4. Row Metal 5. Emitter Array 6. Single Emitter Cone & Gate Hole 7. Column Metal 8. Focusing Grid 9. Wall 10. Phosphor 11. Black Matrix 12. Aluminum Layer 13. Pixel On 14. Faceplate Glass Candescent
