A search for a solid state photo-sensor satisfying the Tagger requirements has been conducted. The new Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) are thought to fit this application better than the traditional Photo-Multiplier Tubes (PMTs) due to the nice properties of the former, including match of fiber cross section, low bias voltage and other factors. See the main page of this project for this design choice justification.
