Abstract

...Rewrite... Modivate with Theory Kinetic theory of temparature. available Temperature However a few of the members of the particles have more than their share. STatistics - Exponential ---> Boltzmann Usually only seen as average effects. Interesting to see individual instead of average. See fluctuations far from the average.

Kinetic theory ----> Thermal average successes. Predicts individual as well. Statistical physics describes temperatures - variation of individula energy particles Measure energies far from the avearge Avalanche photodiode array. Watching thousands of detectors instead of only 1

Small chance per electron, so many electrons that it occurs a few times per second.

(Should I mention anything about the SiPM's ability to detect single photons and the peaks that we were trying to find when I was working in your lab this summer?)

• appeal to a broader physics context.

THEORY!!

• seeing the thermal excitations "1 at a time"
