⏳️ 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

SiPM characterization

⏳️ Institute: University of InsubriaAbstractThe 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 to achieve gain at
