Description

Beam-Beam Counter (BBC) is a part of Spin Physics Detector (SPD) setup at the collider NICA, designed for event plane reconstruction and local polarimetry. BBC consist of scintillation plates – tiles which collect light through a shifter. The light from shifters is registered using SiPM.
To test the uniformity of responses from identical tiles of the BBC SPD detectors, a scintillation telescope was assembled to register cosmic muons. The study was performed both in spectroscopy and ToT (Time over Threshold) modes. The results were obtained with CAEN DT5202 front‐end readout system, that is planned to be used in the BBC detector for phase 0. The uniformity of the detector tile response in both modes was evaluated.
