G1: Silicon Photomultiplier R&D
- Tadeusz Lesiak (IFJ PAN Kraków)
The recent R&D for underground low-energy particle physics experiments involve SiPMs extensively as the prime photo-detectors due to their ability to enhance the sensitivity of rare particle events. Along with their advantages of having low operating voltages, high PDE, and excellent single-photon resolution, they cause secondary photon emissions which are responsible for at least three...
The prototype detector of the ICAL experiment at the India-based Neutrino Observatory, the mini-ICAL
is in operation at the IICHEP, Madurai. A Cosmic Muon Veto detector (CMVD) around the mini-ICAL is
being commissioned using extruded plastic scintillators with embedded WLS fibers. The SiPM is used
as a photo-transducer and that will be calibrated using an ultrafast LED driver. Other...
The future Circular Electron-Positron Collider (CEPC), as one of future large-scale scientific facilities for high energy lepton collider experiments, aims to accurately measure the Higgs boson, electroweak physics and the top quark. A highly granular crystal electromagnetic calorimeter is proposed within the CEPC 4th detector concept to achieve an excellent EM energy resolution of less than...
We have developed a technique that utilizes the forward current to heat and anneal SiPMs to mitigate the effects of radiation damage in high-radiation environments. We conducted an experimental study on the radiation damage and recovery of SiPMs. SiPMs from three different manufacturers (SengL, Hamamatsu, and Beijing Normal University) were examined. Unlike the conventional method of using low...
DUNE is the most ambitious long-baseline experiment under construction in the US for the study of neutrino oscillation and astroparticle physics. The DUNE far detector will employ the Liquid Argon TPC technology, enhanced by a powerful Photon Detection System that records the 128 nm scintillation light emitted by argon. The basic devices of this system are custom SIPMs.
A dedicated...
