−The following procedure uses as a unit of radiation dose the '''rem''' reported by the neutron dosimeter used in the study
+The following procedure uses as a unit of radiation dose the '''rem''' reported by the neutron dosimeter used in [http://www.jlab.org/Hall-D/software/wiki/index.php?title=SiPM_Radiation_Hardness_Test&redirect=no the study by Y. Qiang et.al. referenced above].
+# Irradiation with monitoring until the dark rate in the SiPM has increased by a factor 2 over the initial conditions, then allow the SiPM to self-anneal and monitor its recovery.
# Irradiation with monitoring until the dark rate in the SiPM has increased by a factor 2 over the initial conditions, then allow the SiPM to self-anneal and monitor its recovery.
# Monitoring will consist of ''full measurements'' (see below) taken at several points during irradiation, and periodically during annealing.
