The Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) is one of three Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) neutrino detectors positioned along the axis of the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab. This detector is equipped with a powerful and innovative Photon Detection System (PDS) designed as a hybrid concept combining a primary system of 120 photomultiplier tubes and a secondary system of 192 X-ARAPUCA devices, all of which are located behind the anode plane. Owing to its complexity, the installation of this system was compelled to satisfy rigorous criteria of quality starting from the construction of the X-ARAPUCA devices, going through all the assemblies and installation procedures, and finishing with the cabling. The work was carried out following many steps, each of which was compelled to fulfill safety, cleanliness, and lightproof requirements (as many of the its devices are sensitive to UV and blue light), and ended successfully, accomplishing the delivery of the system ready for the next steps of detector construction.", publisher = {Universidade Federal de Alfenas}, scholl = {Programa de Pós-graduação em Física}, note = {Instituto de Ciência e Tecnologia} }
