SiPM application for a detector for UHE neutrinos tested at Sphinx station

We present the preliminary test results of the prototype detector, working at Sphinx Observatory Center, Jungfraujoch (~3800m a.s.l.) HFSJG – Switzerland. This prototype detector is designed to measure large zenith angle showers produced by high energy neutrino interactions in the Earth crust. This station provides us an opportunity to understand if the prototype detector works safely (or not) under hard environmental conditions (the air temperature changes between −25°C and −5°C). The detector prototype is using silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) produced by SensL and DRS4 chip as read-out part. Measurements at different temperature at fixed bias voltage (~29.5V) were performed to reconstruct tracks by Time Of Flight.
