Sipm detector

The idea behind this device is the detection of single- photon events in sequentially connected Si APDs. The SiPM features low-voltage operation, insensitivity to magnetic fields, mechanical robustness and excellent uniformity of response. Due to these traits, the SensL SiPM has rapidly gained a. Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) are novel, solid state based low level light detectors.

Silicon photomultipliers ( SiPM ) from KETEK are novel solid-state silicon detectors with single photon counting capability.

KETEK is utilizing for its SiPM production an ultraclean silicon processing to avoid any contaminations causing an increase of the dark count rate.

Important aspects of the well-established and for many years optimized .

If more help is needed to navigate the SensL product range, . The market leader for low light sensing applications. Ultra-low dark count sensors with high detection efficiency. The integrating nature of the CSP signal provides an output proportional to the total charge flowing from the SiPM detector during the pulse event.

The detectors are optimized for Near Ultraviolet (NUV) or re green and blue ( RGB) light detection with peak sensitivities at 4nm or 5nm. Typical applications include high energy physics, medical . The main features of SiPM are: low excess noise factor, the photon detection efficiency at the level of vacuum PMT, low bias voltage (∼24V). The timing of the SiPM is about ps for. Multi-pixel silicon-based avalanche photo-diodes operated in Geiger mode ( SiPM ) have become increasingly popular in HEP, as well as medical and astroparticle physics applications.

What makes them attractive alternatives to the more conventional photomultiplier tubes (PMT) is for instance. The spatial distribution of the scintillation light measured by the SiPM array is used to estimate the . SiPM sensors are an improvement over avalanche photodiodes (APD) and PIN diodes due to their high gain and single photon sensitivity. This enables the detection of low reflectivity targets at very long distance in LiDAR applications.

Unlike the similarly-operated SPAD that can only detect single photons, . In the scope of this thesis prototypes of silicon photomultipliers with wavelength shifting fibres were measured for muon detection. This indirect readout happens with silizium photomultipliers ( SiPM ), which are coupled with the fibre. The scintillator was wrapped with different re ective materials to optimise the light am-.

This thesis deals with silicon photomultipliers ( SiPM ) used in scintillation detectors and their applications in positron emission tomography (PET). Photon number resolving SiPM detector with 1.
