  3. Conventional SiPM:photon number resolving detector R. Mirzoyan et al., NDIP, 2008 (SiPM MEPhI) Yu. Musienko, CERN, 2011 SiPM = Array of independent limited Geiger mode APD pixels with poly-silicon resistors for breakdown quenching and with common output producing a sum of binary signals Initially developed by MEPhI/Pulsar, Russia (~ 2000) Most popular SiPM on market – Hamamatsu MPPC (MultiPixel Photon Counter, 2008) Sergey Vinogradov 3rd oPAC Topical workshop on Beam diagnostics Vienna 8 May 2014 3

SiPM parameters High gain low noise fast time multiplication Accompanied by high gain related drawbacks Crosstalk and afterpulsing Key parameters Photon Detection Efficiency ~ 20 – 40% Dark count rate ~ 0.1 – 1 Mcps/mm2 Crosstalk ~ 5 – 40% Afterpulsing ~ 5 – 20% Pixel recovery (single electron response) time ~ 10 – 300 ns Pixel density ~ 103 – 104 mm-2 Spectral range ~ 350 … 900 nm (for Si, but also IR InGaAs) Active areas: 1x1 … 6x6mm-2 Arrays: 1x 16 … 8x8 (monolithic), 12x12 (hybrid) A lot of space for improvements in performance by New designs Advanced technology Sergey Vinogradov 3rd oPAC Topical workshop on Beam diagnostics Vienna 8 May 2014 5

  6. Detection types • Single photon counting - binary detection (PDE, DCR, dead time) –disadvantageous • Detection of short weak light pulses - highly competitive with PMT and APD • Photon number resolution (SNR, noise-to-signal ratio, σn/μn) • Time-of-flight detection (transit time spread, time resolution, σt) • Detection of time-varying signals (MTF, signal reconstruction) - challengeable Sergey Vinogradov 3rd oPAC Topical workshop on Beam diagnostics Vienna 8 May 2014 6
