Abstract: (IOP)
The integration of a scintillator, wavelength-shiftingfiber, and silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) has demonstrated superiorperformance in the K-long and Muon detector (KLM) of the Belle IIexperiment. This study outlines our research and development (R&D)initiatives aimed at harnessing similar detection technologies,incorporating a novel scintillator and SiPM, for potential use in amuon detector for the proposed Circular Electron Positron Collider(CEPC) experiment. Our R&D activities have been focused onevaluating the efficacy of a newly developed 150 cm-longscintillator, alongside the NDL SiPM featuring a sensitive area of3 mm×3 mm, or the Hamamatsu MPPC with a1.3 mm× 1.3 mm sensitive surface. The project alsoincludes the fabrication of a detector strip and the implementationof techniques designed to optimize light collectionefficiency. Cosmic ray testing has shown that both NDL SiPMs andMPPCs are capable of highly efficient photon collection, achievingefficiencies significantly exceeding 90% when employing a thresholdof 8 photoelectrons. Additionally, the time resolution for detectingevents at the distant end of a scintillator strip has been measuredto be better than 1.7 ns. The remarkable performance observed laysthe foundation for advancing R&D including prototype modules aimingfor reference Technical Design Report of CEPC detector recently.
