In this paper we present a study of the neutrons-induced damage in Silicon Photo-Multipliers. Twenti-six devices, produced by AdvanSiD, Hamamatsu and SensL, have been irradiated at the Geel Electron LINear Accelerator (GELINA) in Belgium on a nearly white neutron beam. The total 1 MeV equivalent integrated dose was 6.2×109neq/cm2. Photodetector performances have been measured during the whole irradiation...
We report radiation hardness tests performed, with a white neutron beam, at the Geel Electron LINear Accelerator in Belgium on silicon Photo-Multipliers. These are semiconductor photon detectors made of a square matrix of Geiger-Mode Avalanche photo-diodes on a silicon substrate. Several samples from different manufacturers have been irradiated integrating up to about 6.2 × 109 1-MeV-equivalent neutrons...
The superB project foresees the construction of a high intensity super-flavor factory at the Cabibbo Lab, in Tor Vergata (near Rome). The experiment, based on a high intensity asymmetric electron-positron collider, and on the related detector, is expected to reach a very high luminosity: 2 × 1036cm−2s−1, that will allow the high statistic study of rare decays and, possibly, will show evidences of...
The Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) is a silicon device capable of single photon detection that was developed in the late '90s. It is very promising for High Energy Physics and Medical applications. In order to simplify the operation of such a device for the R&D of small detector prototypes in laboratory and test beams, we developed a versatile readout and control system. It is based on a custom...
