Description

The Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) with large area up to 10x10mm2 are considered and their optimal parameters, such as efficiency, gain, dark rate, afterpulsing probability and optical crosstalk are discussed. The 3x3mm2 SiPM is described and its performance is demonstrated. Three examples of 3x3mm2 SiPM application are given: (1) transition radiation X-ray detection; (2) time of flight measurements with fast scintillators; (3) detection of PET gammas using LYSO crystals. Corresponding experimental results are presented and discussed
