A novel type of photodetector-Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) is described. SiPM is high gain (1 000 000), low noise, single photoelectron sensitive, very fast (less than 100 ps) detector. The possibilities and limitations of SiPMs for Particle Physics Application such as tracking, calorimetry, parti
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
