Readout of Wavelength-shifting Optical Modules — •Johannes Alt for the SHiP-SBT collaboration — Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg

Wavelength-shifting optical modules (WOMs) are a low-cost way to capture the scintillation light produced in a liquid scintillator volume. These WOM tubes connected to Silicon Photomultipliers are proposed to be used in the large-area Surrounding Background Tagger (SBT) of the proposed general-purpose Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) experiment. In this talk, the current status of the research and development on the WOM readout will be presented. This work is funded by BMBF.
