Development of Intelligent Photomultipliers for the JUNO Detector — •Florian Lenz, Marta Meloni, Michael Soiron, Achim Stahl, Jochen Steinmann, and Christopher Wiebusch — III. Physikalisches Institut B, RWTH Aachen University, 52056 Aachen, Germany

The JUNO experiment will be a 20kt liquid scintillator neutrino detector near Kaiping, China, 50km from two nuclear power plants. Its main goal is the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy from a precise measurement of the energy spectrum of neutrinos. Due to the detector size it is not possible to digitize the signal outside the detector cavern. Therefore FPGAs with a low-level reconstruction combined with a fast adc mounted on the base will convert the PMTs into intelligent sensors. Advantages and disadvantages of this design will be discussed and first measurements will be shown.
