My List of Research Articles on Photon Detection


 * 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?
