Description
The Focal Surface detector of EUSO (Extreme Universe Space Observatory) consists of small autonomous functional units (elementary cell, EC) assembled in larger modules (Photo Detector Modules, PDM). Each EC is conceived as an array of 4 multianode photomultipliers (MAPMTs). We have developed EC structure for the current baseline of the multianode photomultiplier (MAPMT, R8900-M36). As the mechanical characteristics of the PDM structure (e.g. robustness to thermal and launch shocks, vibrations at launch) will affect the EC structure, we have also built a trial PDM, consisting of 36 MAPMTs (9 ECs) arranged in a cartesian layout. The purpose of such trial PDM is to develop and optimize the EC structure.
