A 13-inch Optical Module (OM) containing a large-area (10-inch) photomultiplier was designed as part of Phase-2 of the NEMO project. An intense R&D activity on the photomul- tipliers, the voltage supply boards, the optical coupling as well as the study of the influences of the Earth’s magnetic field has driven the choice of each single component of the OM.

Abstract

A 13-inch Optical Module (OM) containing a large-area (10-inch) photomultiplier was designed as part of Phase-2 of the NEMO project. An intense R&D activity on the photomul- tipliers, the voltage supply boards, the optical coupling as well as the study of the influences of the Earth’s magnetic field has driven the choice of each single component of the OM. Following a well-established production procedure, 32 OMs were assembled and their functionality tested. The design, the testing and the production phases are thoroughly described in this paper.
