Performance Evaluation of the Readout Electronics Board Based on the Smart Asic for the Adapt Instrument
The Advanced Particle–astrophysics Telescope (APT) is a mission concept for a future space-based MeV-TeV observatory, designed to combine a Compton and pair telescope, aiming to improve the sensitivity of the instruments to rays in the MeV-GeV range by at least one order of magnitude. To validate and study the technologies that will be employed on the observatory, a small-scale prototype, the Antarctic Demonstrator for APT (ADAPT), is currently being developed to fly on a balloon in Antarctica during the local 2026–2027 flight season. Among its subdetectors there is an Imaging CsI calorimeter (ICC), consisting of 4 layers of CsI(Na) crystals with crossed WLS fibers, coupled to Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs). A key element of the design is the multichannel front-end electronics, based on the SMART (SiPM Multichannel ASIC for high-Resolution Cherenkov Telescopes) ASIC, which combines compactness, cost-effectiveness, and a high level of integration. This work reports the results of quality-control tests performed on the custom readout boards for the ICC, and provides an overview of the present status of the mission.Open AccessPerformance Evaluation of the Readout Electronics Board Based on the Smart Asic for the Adapt Instrument
