Absolute Photo Detection Efficiency measurement of Silicon PhotoMultipliers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) are recent detectors studied by many groups. Their proprieties (compact form, insensitivity to magnetic fields, low voltage power supplies...) are promising for various scientific fields, from high energy physics calorimetry to medical imaging application. An accurate measurement of the SiPM parameters is needed to integrate these devices in experimentation. Absolute Photo Detection Efficiency over the visible range is a decisive parameter for most applications.

A measurement of the photon detection efficiency of silicon photomultipliers
We describe a new method to determine the photon detection efficiency of silicon photomultipliers. This method can also be applied to other photon detectors with single photoelectron resolution. r 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 95.55.Ka; 95.55.Vj; 29.40. n; 29.30. h
متن کاملThe Next Generation of Photo-Detectors for Particle Astrophysics
We advocate support of research aimed at developing alternatives to the photomultiplier tube for photon detection in large astroparticle experiments such as gamma-ray and neutrino astronomy, and direct dark matter detectors. Specifically, we discuss the development of large area photocathode microchannel plate photomultipliers and silicon photomultipliers. Both technologies have the potential t...
متن کاملMeasurement of quantum efficiency using correlated photon pairs and a single-detector technique
A new approach is proposed to the calibration of photodetectors and the determination of the absolute value of the quantum efficiency of photon-counting photomultipliers using entangled-photon pairs. It is based on a new single-photodetector technique and a special modulation of the entangled-photon flux. The absolute values of the quantum efficiency have been determined for several photon-coun...

AMIGA (Auger Muons and Infill for the Ground Array) is an upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory designed to extend its energy range of detection and to directly measure the muon content of the cosmic ray primary particle showers. The array will be formed by an infill of surface water-Cherenkov detectors associated with buried scintillation counters employed for muon counting. Each counter is ...
