Recent beam test results are presented for the prototype detector of the ePIC-dRICH forward particle-identification system at the EIC. A large-area prototype SiPM readout plane consisting of a total of up to 2048 3×3 mm2 sensors has been constructed. The photodetector prototype is modular and based on a novel EIC-driven photodetection unit developed by INFN, which integrates 256 SiPM pixel sensors, cooling and TDC electronics in a volume of ∼5 × 5 × 14 cm3. Several modules have been built and successfully tested with particle beams at CERN-PS in October 2023 and in May 2024. The data have been collected with a complete chain of front-end and readout electronics based on the ALCOR chip, developed by INFN Torino.

Abstract
Recent beam test results are presented for the prototype detector of the ePIC-dRICH forward particle-identification system at the EIC. A large-area prototype SiPM readout plane consisting of a total of up to 2048 3×3 mm2 sensors has been constructed. The photodetector prototype is modular and based on a novel EIC-driven photodetection unit developed by INFN, which integrates 256 SiPM pixel sensors, cooling and TDC electronics in a volume of ∼5 × 5 × 14 cm3. Several modules have been built and successfully tested with particle beams at CERN-PS in October 2023 and in May 2024. The data have been collected with a complete chain of front-end and readout electronics based on the ALCOR chip, developed by INFN Torino.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
