SiPM noises are very complicated in general due to a presence of correlated processes, namely, crosstalk and afterpulsing. From a statistical point of view, SiPM noises are stochastic processes contributing to a total SiPM response charge. The charge is a random variable which could be completely characterized by its probability distribution. Partial characterization of the SiPM response by...

Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) are attractive light detectors for high energy and
astroparticle physics experiments. They are compact in size, have fast (few ns) response
time, operate at lower voltage compared to classical photomultiplier tubes, are insensitive
to magnetic fields, and the newer samples offer photon detection efficiencies of > 40%. The optical cross-talk effect,...

Efficient and low noise detection of vacuum ulta-violet (VUV) scintillation photons is critical for the nEXO experiment to achieve its projected sensitivity to zero-neutrino double beta decays. VUV SiPMs are being developed by Fondazione Bruno Kessler and Hamamatsu Photonics to fulfill nEXO’s requirements. It is desirable to operate the SiPMs at high over-voltage in order to achieve maximum...

Compared to conventional photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) based on multi-cell geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (GAPDs) have advantages with regards to photon detection efficiency, compactness, robustness and tolerance of both magnetic fields and intense light sources. In addition, SiPMs can be cost effective for applications that require many channels with small...
