The PRISMA detector laboratory promotes cooperation and the exchange of experience and technology within PRISMA++<\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It provides laboratories and workspaces to offer scientists with different hardware expertise a shared research environment and infrastructure. As part of this collaboration, the Detector Lab offers access to its own special laboratories, high-quality equipment and design software. The electron and photon beams at MAMI and the irradiation facility at the TRIGA reactor are also available for the examination and characterization of detectors and electronics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To support the experimental activities in all fields of research, the Detector Lab is divided into four areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n \n<\/jgu-base-image><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Electronics<\/strong>Design of high-speed boards for fast data analysis and digitization, analog signal processing circuits, low-noise and low-power systems, triggerless architectures, and radiation-hard electronics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n \n<\/jgu-base-image><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Light sensors<\/strong>Single-photon sensitivity, high detection efficiency, large active areas and\/or high granularity, e.g. for use in calorimeters, Cherenkov detectors and astroparticle physics experiments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
