IceCube is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector installed in the ice at the geographic South Pole. It comprises a deep-ice detector (installed between 1450 and 2450 m under the ice surface) and a surface array called IceTop, featuring 162 tanks with frozen water. More than five thousand photomultipliers detect the Cherenkov light emitted by charged particles; these detections are used to...

This work reports on the behavior of the Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) detector under continuous light illumination. Large area ~ 1 cm$^2$ hexagonal SiPM S10943-2832(X) produced by Hamamatsu HPK for the single mirror small size telescope SST-1M (one of the projects proposed for the implementation of the small size telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array CTA) has been used for studies. The...

The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) is pioneering the usage of SiPM in Imaging Atmospheric
Cherenkov Telescopes. Its camera consists of 1440 SiPM, each coupled to a solid light-guide and an
individual read out. In October 2011, the camera was installed in a refurbished telescope structure
with a mirror area of 9.5m^2 at the Canary island La Palma, and successful data taking...

MAGIC is a system of two imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) operated by an international collaboration at the Canary island of La Palma. Like all large-size IACTs (>12 m diameter), MAGIC uses imaging cameras consisting of more than a thousand photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). The modular assembly of the camera and the design of its structure offer the possibility to install a maximum...

PANDA is a hadron physics experiment at the FAIR facility at GSI which will employ a high intensity antiproton beam of up to 15 GeV/c to do high precision studies of, among others, objectives like charmonium spectroscopy and search for gluonic excitations. These measurements require a robust and compact PID system with excellent timing capabilities placed inside a magnetic field of $>$1 Tesla....

Silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) seems to be a promising photon sensor to be used in future large-scale Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors of the modern experiments due to their potentially low costs, compactness and immunity to magnetic field. The only drawbacks are relatively high dark counts and radiation hardness issues.
Digital SiPMs integrating most of the front-end electronics on...

Silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) is considered to be a good replacement for photomultiplier tube (PMT) and avalanche photodiodes (APD) in high energy physics, which benefits from its high internal gain, good compactness, excellent timing performance, robustness and insensitivity to magnetic fields. However, pixelated SiPM array generally used in high-resolving scintillation imaging...
