Description
Deep diffused avalanche photodiodes are studied as timing detectors for minimum ionizing particles. This application does not require a radiator to generate light to be detected by the APD. The signal is generated and amplified within the APD bulk.
In this talk, preliminary results of a beam test characterization of deep diffused APDs are presented. The beam test setup comprised an MCP-PMT used as a time reference and a beam telescope. These elements allow to study the behavior of various parameters as a function of the impact position of the particles on the detector.
