Description
Multipixel Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (also known as G-APDs, SiPMs, SSPMs, MRS APDs, MAPDs, MPPCs, etc.) have been developed during recent years and promise to be an alternative to photomultiplier tubes. During the last decade, a variety of new G-APDs appeared on the market and interest in these devices increased regarding their application in high energy physics experiments and positron emission tomography.
Extensive studies of such G-APDs (from Hamamatsu, Photonique/CPTA, Zecotek, MEPhI/Pulsar, FBK-irst, Sens-L, STM, etc.) have been carried out and many interesting results have been published. This presentation reviews the latest developments in G-APDs and discusses the applications of these devices for HEP experiments, imaging air Cherenkov telescopes and PET.
