Scope of Paper

The paper will cover the temperature dependence of the SiPM in relation to the dark rate and ability to see peaks. The bias voltage can be kept constant at the nominal value recommended by the manufacturer because I didn't do any testing regarding this aspect of the experiment. The data will be taken from the measurements carried out at UConn during June - July 2007. I will analyze these data and determine the dark rate at each temperature setting, and estimate the uncertainty. These data will be compared to a theoretical model consisting of an electron gas with a single band gap.
