  • Introduction on Avalanche Photodiodes
    • What is dark noise?
  • Using the SiPM for Particle Physics
    • Ultra-relativistic Universe? -detected to find out more about
    • Geiger mode? -SiPMs will be running in or "limited Geiger Mode
    • The SiPMs tested are ineffective at detecting Ultraviolet because it has no n-on-p structure.
    • Dynamic Range? of what? (wavelength of detected light?)
  • Another Article about using the SiPM for the Magic/Euso detector
    • Quantum Efficiency vs. Regular Efficiency
    • What is threshold energy? ph.e.?
    • to Prevent Crosstalk, one could Optically decouples cells from each other.
    • Passive Quenching - why would you want to quench breakdown if that signifies a successful detection?
    • "In this new concept the readout node of a silicon drift detector (SDD) is replaced by a Geiger APD." (?)
  • Cern's take on the SiPM
    • Very good temperature stability? What we are testing?
  • Technical applications of the SiPM
  • Advanced study of Silicon Photomultiplier
    • Graph end of Page 3, explanation - pg 4
    • Where does electronic noise come from?
    • ENF Factor?
    • Figure 6
    • If a SiPM is just an array of APDs, then shouldn't the SiPM have at least the same complexity, if not be more complex than the APD?


  • If the goal is to detect individual photons, then can any dark rate be acceptable at all, especially to the magnitude of 10^6 events/mm^2 sec or even 10^4 events/mm^2 sec"
  • What are virtual Photons?
