Figure 6-1: Photomultiplier tube operation in photon counting mode ... rate linearity is determined by the number of dark current pulses, and the upper ...
For more than sixty years, photomultipliers have been used ... pulses is called the dark noise or dark count rate (for clarity,.
About 7000 PMTs have been tested for dark count rate, timing spread and spurious pulses. For a sub-sample the quantum efficiency (QE), the gain, the peak to ...
photomultipliers with a dark count rate above 10 kHz emit single photons. ... Keywords: Photomultiplier; Dark count rate; Liquid xenon detector; ...
The dark count rate is the average rate of registered counts without any incident light. This determines the minimum count rate at which the signal is ...
Users of SiPM sensors will typically need to have an understanding of the following parameters: breakdown voltage and overvoltage, gain, PDE, dark count rate ( ...
at high count rate, and the transit time jitter in the detector should be ... of a switched-off PMT to daylight increases the dark count rate considerably.
Aug 19, 2020 · The silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) is an established device of choice for ... In an analog SiPM the dark count rate can only be improved by ...
About 7000 photomultipliers have been characterised for dark count rate, timing spread and spurious pulses. The quantum efficiency, the gain and the peak-to- ...
The dark count rate is highly dependent on temperature and bias voltage, increasing with both. Dark count pulses are similar to single photon interactions ...
