Abstract

Satellite experiments employ plastic scintillators to discriminate charged from neutral particles in order to correctly identify gamma rays and to identify charged nuclei. We have assembled and tested different prototypes of plastic scintillators equipped with Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) to study different designs for the SiPM-based readout system. Our studies are performed in the framework of the High-Energy Cosmic Radiation Detection (HERD) facility that will be installed onboard the future Chinese space station. The HERD experiment will provide high-quality data on charged cosmic rays up to PeV energies and gamma rays up to TeV energies.
