Understanding Silicon Photomultipliers SiPM

September 24th, 2021| |CAEN Experiments, Silicon Photomultipliers

⏳️ Abstract We report on a common analysis for the experiments of SiPM characterization (A.1.1) and comparison of dierent scintillating crystals: light yield, decay time and resolution (B.1.5). With this proposal, we use CAEN educational kit premium, based on SP5600 power supply and amplication unit connected to the SP5650C SiPM and the

⏳️ 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
