Abstract:Abstract:The silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) is a promising semiconductor device for low-level light detection. The recovery time, or the photon-counting rate of the SiPM is essential for high-flux photon detection in such applications as photon counting computer tomography (CT). A SiPM with epitaxial quenching resistors (EQR SiPM) has advantages in fabricating small APD microcells connected in series with lower quenching resistors, therefore, APD cells with a low RC time constant and a short recovery time can … Show more
“…All these measurements are done at 𝑉 ov = (2-6) 𝑉 in steps of 0.5 V. Figure 25c shows the variation in recovery time as a function of 𝑉 ov , and as expected for a larger pulse, it takes a longer time to recover [15]. This behaviour and the magnitudes are also observed in other studies [16].…”
A Cosmic Muon Veto (CMV) detector using extruded scintillators is being designed around the mini-Iron Calorimeter detector at the transit campus of the India-based Neutrino Observatory, Madurai for measuring its efficiency at shallow depth underground experiments. The scintillation signal is transmitted through a Wavelength Shifting (WLS) fibre and readout by Hamamatsu Silicon-Photomultipliers (SiPMs). A Light Emitting Diode (LED) system is included on the front-end readout for in-situ calibration of the gain of each SiPM. A characterization system was developed for the measurement of gain and choice of the overvoltage (V
ov) of SiPMs using the LED as well as a cosmic muon telescope. The V
ov is obtained by studying the noise rate, the gain of the SiPM, and the muon detection efficiency. In case of any malfunction of the LED system during the operation, the SiPM can also be calibrated with the noise data as well as using radioactive sources. This paper describes the basic characteristics of the SiPM and the comparison of the calibration results using all three methods, as well as the V
ov of the SiPMs and muon selection criteria for the veto detector.

“…In recent years, new types of SiPMs have been also developed by the Normal Device Laboratory (NDL in Beijing). [9] These SiPMs are designed with epitaxial quenching resistors (EQR) technologies [5]. Figure 4 shows the dark noisy spectrum of an NDL-SiPM (11-1010C) which is calibrated by its own preamplifier where photoelectron peaks can be also observed clearly.…”
A: The Circular Electron Position Collider (CEPC) aims at precision measurements of Higgs, W and Z boson properties. High granularity calorimetry associated with Particle Flow Algorithm (PFA) aims at jet energy resolution around 30%/ E/GeV. One option for the Hadronic Calorimeter (HCAL) is the so-called Analog HCAL (AHCAL) which consists of stainless steel as the absorber and scintillators as the sensitive material. This talk presents the latest progress on the optimisation studies of the HCAL detector cell in terms of light output and uniformity. Simulation studies on the software compensation technique are also presented, which shows around 10% improvement of the energy resolution with hadrons. In addition, we tried out 8 iterations of polystyrene recipe prototyping and scintillator tiles production with the injection moulding technique and achieved scintillator uniformity within the same batch better than 90%. Effective and fast ways of integrating the detector cells are under development such as an automatic wrapping machine and a glue dispenser. Preliminary results have been made for a merged readout scheme, which may provide a feasible method to reduce the number of electronic channels.
