Erasmus Mundus Program: Characterization of SiPMs

September 24th, 2021| |CAEN Experiments, Particle Detector Characterization, Particle Detectors Characterization, Silicon Photomultipliers

In this report the characterization of a Silicon Photo-Multiplier (SiPM) detector was done in order to estimate the main features of the detector. The breakdown voltage, the gain, the dark Count Rate as well as the optical crosstalk of the detector were successfully obtained.

⏳️ Abstract These are notes meant to fill in the blanks and flesh out the partial explanations given in CAEN Application Note AN2502, SiPM Characterization. The CAEN system this note describes is a very high-tech item with complex internal functions and a lot of engineering behind it. In half an hour or

⏳️ Institute: University of Insubria Abstract The Silicon PhotoMultiplier (SiPM) consists of a high‐density (up to ~103 /mm2) matrix of diodes connected in parallel on a common Si substrate. Each diode is an Avalanche Photo Diode (APD) operated in a limited Geiger‐Müller regime connected in series with a quenching resistance, in order
