The use of Silicon Photo-Multipliers (SiPMs) as photon detectors in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) modules offers significant advantages over conventional light sensors, including application in a magnetic field, better resolution and easier operation. Different types of SiPMs have been tested:
We investigate the behavior of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) at low temperatures: I-V characteristics, breakdown voltage, dark noise, afterpulsing, crosstalk, pulse shape, gain and photon detection efficiency are studied as a function of temperature in the range 50 K o T o 320 K. We discuss our m
