  2. Near Detectors at 280m Off-axis (~2o) ND280m hall 19m Super-K 37m Beam center On-axis (0o) - ~ 105 WLS fiber channels - individual readout

Principles of MRS APD operation CPTA, Moscow (MRS APD) MePhi/PULSAR, Moscow (SiPM) Dubna Multipixel Geiger mode APD’s invented in Russia in 1980’s Number of pixels  450 - 4000 limited Geiger mode PMT: diameter 20 mm MRS: active area 1x1mm2 diam 1 mm Depletion region  2m Drift velosity  107 cm/s Field  (2-3)x105 V/cm Qpixel = Cpixel x V = Cpixel x (Vbias - Vbreakdown) Cpixel  50fmF V  few volts  Qpixel  2x106 electrons
