The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) Consortium is developing the new generation of ground observatories for the detection of ultra-high energy gamma rays. The Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) is participating to the R&D of a possible solution for the Cherenkov photon cameras based on Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) sensitive to UV energies. INFN is developing the concept, mechanics and electronics for SiPM prototype modules intended to equip the focal planes of CTA telescopes. The module design and performances are reviewed here.

Abstract
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) Consortium is developing the new generation of ground observatories for the detection of ultra-high energy gamma rays. The Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) is participating to the R&D of a possible solution for the Cherenkov photon cameras based on Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) sensitive to UV energies. INFN is developing the concept, mechanics and electronics for SiPM prototype modules intended to equip the focal planes of CTA telescopes. The module design and performances are reviewed here.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
