Since the Dark Rate is the rate at which the SiPM avalanches, its value depends on 3 factors:
Since the Dark Rate is the rate at which the SiPM avalanches, its value depends on 3 factors:
* The probability that an rogue electron would set off the SiPM at any one occurance
* The Rate of Scattering, or the average amount of time that is required for an electron to impact a silicon nucleus, redistributing energy randomly among the two entities.
* The number of Silicon Nuclei in the detector
# The actual energy of electrons follow a poisson distribution, where a large number of electrons have very little amounts of energy while a miniscule number of electrons have a very large amount of energy.
Therefore, the probability of the elections having a large amount of energy is
Therefore, the probability of the elections having a large amount of energy is
# The rate of scattering is a constant number that determines the average amount of time that is required for an electron to impact a silicon nucleus. It is dependent on two factors:
## The average speed of an electron
#* The average speed of an electron
## The average distance between 2 Silicon nuclei
#* The average distance between 2 Silicon nuclei
The electron travels at an average speed equal to the Fermi Velocity, where
