“…The optimisation of PSDʼs module layout and centrality determination using machine learning methods are ongoing. The R&D for PSD is synchronised with FAIR Phase-0 activities [94], where 20 and 13 CBM-PSD modules have been included in BM@N-Forward Hadron Calorimeter (FHCal) and NA61/SHINE-Main PSD (MPSD), respectively.…”

The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment is one of the major scientific pillars of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR). The physics programme of CBM is centred around the exploration of the QCD phase diagram and nuclear matter equation-of-state in the region of high baryon densities. The respective rare probes will be accessed by using nucleus-nucleus collisions in the energy range √sNN = 2.9 - 4.9 GeV at peak interaction rates of up to 10 MHz and a trigger-less data acquisition scheme. This article reviews CBM physics goals with the experimental observables. The progress and current status of the comprising detector sub-systems, including their performance in FAIR Phase-0 experiments will also be presented.

“…NA61@CERN, CBM@FAIR, BM@N and NICA heavy-ion collision experiments employ compensating lead-scintillator calorimeters to measure the energy distribution of the forward going projectile nucleons and nuclei fragments (spectators) produced close to the beam rapidity [1]. The scintillation light is transferred via the WaveLength Shifting fibers and read out by Silicon Photo-Multipliers (SiPM).…”

A: Silicon PhotoMultipliers (SiPM) are an excellent choice for the scintillator light readout at hadron calorimeters due to their insensitivity to magnetic fields, low operating voltages, low cost, compactness and mechanical endurance. They are already successfully utilized in Projectile Spectator Detector (PSD) of NA61 at CERN, and will be utilized soon in PSD of CBM at FAIR and Forward Hadron CALorimeters (FHCAL) of BM@N at NICA heavy-ion collision experiments. The main issue of SiPM application is their degradation due to high neutron fluence that can reach up to 2 × 10 11 n eq /cm 2 per year of the experiment operation. Multiple irradiation tests of SiPMs produced by Ketek, Zecotek, Hamamatsu and Sensl manufacturers were conducted at the cyclotron of NPI Řež with a broad neutron spectrum and total fluences in the wide range of 5 × 10 10 -6 × 10 12 n eq /cm 2 . Detailed characterisation of all SiPMs was performed based on dependencies of dark current on voltage, capacitance on voltage and frequency, and response to LED light on voltage. SiPM's breakdown voltage, quenching resistance, pixel capacitance, gain and signal to noise ratio were extracted from these measurements. Those parameters' dependence on neutron fluence and their variability are discussed. Performance of the PSD calorimeter module equipped with irradiated SiPMs in CERN during the beam scan with 2 âĂŞ 80 GeV/c protons is briefly overviewed.
