6. Silicon Photosensors in Ring Imaging Cherenkov detectors

Jesus Pena Rodriguez (Bergische Universität Wuppertal)

Ring Imaging Cherenkov detectors are moving towards new photodetection technologies for exploring more accurate timing and amplitude resolutions. Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMS) can play such a role, played by photomultiplier tubes until now. SiPMs measure single photon signals with time resolutions up to picoseconds. Their photodetection efficiency surpasses the photomultiplier tubes,...

9. R&D efforts to mitigate radiation damage in SiPMs for the dual-radiator RICH at the EIC

SiPMs are the baseline photodetector technology for the dual-radiator RICH detector at the EIC. They offer significant advantages being insensitive to the high magnetic field at the expected location. However, SiPMs are not radiation tolerant.

The current R&D tests whether the increase in DCR can be mitigated to maintain single-photon performance with current SiPM technology in a moderately...

12. Status and perspectives of SiPMs at FBK

Alberto Gola (Fondazione Bruno Kessler)

Thanks to the continuous improvement of their performance, SiPMs are now considered for the upgrades of several, big physics experiments, ranging from High-energy Physics to rare events physics, to astroparticle physics. However, considering that the incremental improvements between subsequent generations of SiPMs are reaching saturation, a deeper redesign of the photon detector as a whole,...

16. Integrated housing for Silicon Photomultipliers for future Ring Imaging Cherenkov photo-detectors

Roberta Cardinale (INFN e Universita Genova (IT))

Silicon Photo-Multipliers (SiPM) are attractive photo-sensors for many different applications. SiPM with improved robustness to radiation could be used for future particle detectors in high radiation environments, operating at a sufficiently low temperature and with regular annealing procedures to mitigate the high noise due to the absorbed radiation dose.
A modular housing solution, based...
