Prediction

Dark Rate = X events/second

Dark Rate = Probability of occurance * Volume of Sensitive area * Rate of redistribution of energy (collisions)

$Probability=e^{-E_{g}/kT}$

$E_{g}Silicon=1.12eV$

$k=1.3806503*10^{-23}m^{2}kgs^{-2}K^{-1}$

$Probability=e^{-1.12/(1.381*10^{-23}*t)}$

thin depletion region (0.7-0.8 um)

$Volume=4.4mm^{2}*0.075mm$

$Volume=0.33mm^{3}$

$Collisions=?$
