Abstract

Inside a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber the process which leads to the collection of scintillation light over a large area into a compact space is a challenging one. In this scenario, a Photon Detection System able to minimize its impact on the active volume of the Liquid Argon plays a crucial role. In the first module of the DUNE Far Detector, traditional photomultiplier tubes will not be used due to space reasons. Instead of them, sensors with reduced size are forseen: the Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs). These SiPMs will be placed in a cryogenic environment in extreme working condition. For this reason, a test campaign aimed to characterized and select them has been conducted. In this paper the preliminary results obtained during the first tests are reported.
