Prediction

Dark Rate = X events/second

Dark Rate = Probability of occurence * Volume of Sensitive region * Rate of redistribution of energy (collisions)

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

$E_{g}Silicon=1.12eV$

$k=1.3806503*10^{-23}JK^{-1}$

$Probability=e^{-(1.12*1.6*10^{-19})/(1.381*10^{-23}*T)}$

thin depletion region (0.7-0.8 um)

Make sure to do it in pixels

$Volume=4.4mm^{2}*0.00075mm$

$Volume=0.33mm^{3}$

$Collisions=?$
