Evaluation of FBK SiPM modules through neutron irradiation in October and November 2011, comparing noise levels and performance under different fluences. Analysis of SiPM 4380 and 5550 rates and beam intensity.
E N D
24 – 25 October 2011irradiation of 8 ‘4380’ and 1 ‘small’ SiPMs
Irradiation time: 11 hours (+ 16 hours annealing) Total fluence: ~6 *108 Neq/cm2 These SiPM are very noisy (also before irradiation)
23 – 25 November 2011irradiation of 8/3 ‘5550’ (eachSiPMreadoutindividualy)and the same ‘small’ SiPMs
Irradiation time: 19 hours (+ 33 hours annealing) Total fluence: ~6 *108 Neq/cm2 SiPM 5550 are much less noisy than 4380 (but 1/3 of 5550 vs 1 full 4380!)
