Abstract

We have been studying the performance of SiPM devices and Scintillation Plates read out with SiPM. Applications are for the detection of ionizing radiation, for example in particle and nuclear physics experiments. Results are presented on performance of the SiPM using pulsed LEDs and scintillating tiles excited by radioactive sources, and for SiPM devices that have been used to transduce waveshifted scintillation signals from scintillation tiles with embedded waveshifter fiber.
