| Abstract: | The SiPMs are excellent candidates for the replacement of PMTs in many experimental situations. In this article we describe the performances of different types of SiPMs from Hamamatsu and FBK-IRST before and after irradiation with photons and neutrons in terms of signal to noise ratio, time resolution and efficiency. The SiPMs are connected to a scintillation tracker/calorimeter, composed of eight layers (4x and 4y) of 10 scintillating bars each and have been tested at the CERN PS T9 beamline. The tracker/calorimeter is a small-size prototype of a bigger detector called EMR (Electron Muon Ranger), a particle identification system developed for the MICE experiment. |
