Since the Dark Rate is the rate at which the SiPM avalanches, its value depends on 3 factors:
1. The probability that an rogue electron would set off the SiPM at any one event
2. 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.
3. The number of Silicon Nuclei in the detector
To measure the dark rate of the SiPM,... See Earlier Experimental Procedure
The data was then compared to a predicted dark rate of the device to determine the reliability of the prediction.
