List of Articles moved to My List of Research Articles on Photon Detection
*[http://optoelectronics.perkinelmer.com/content/ApplicationNotes/APP_APDUsersGuide.pdf Introduction on Avalanche Photodiodes]
** What is dark noise?
*[http://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/halld/siliconPM/NPB-150-144.pdf 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?)
*[http://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/halld/siliconPM/ICRC-2005-101.pdf 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." (?)
*[http://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/halld/siliconPM/courier-2-2007.htm Cern's take on the SiPM]
** Very good temperature stability? What we are testing?
*[http://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/halld/siliconPM/NIMA-504-48.pdf Technical applications of the SiPM]
*[http://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/halld/siliconPM/ICFA-9-2001.pdf 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?
