Description
Genetic multiplexing (S.Procureur et al.) is a cost-effective readout technique for large-area particle detectors. While it was specifically developed for Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs) such as Micromegas, it can be implemented also with SiPM photo-sensors coupled to the scintillation elements. We describe our hodoscope prototype, which uses 84 scintillator bars coupled to 168 SiPM sensors, being read out by 4x14 = 56 CAEN electronic channels. The reduction of the electronic channels is possible by the multiplexing technique implemented via 3-SiPM sensor ganging into one readout channel.
