Abstract

Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) are a relatively new multi-pixel technology intended for nuclear and particle physics uses. They consist of a silicon substrate onto which multiple Single Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPADs) are connected to a quenching resistor, which forms one of the pixels. These pixels are connected in parallel, which result in a well defined signal. The use of SiPMs in arrays, such as series, parallel or mixed can prove useful in constructing a vacuum-friendly detector that is unaffected by magnetic fields. The parallel SiPM configuration, composed of two Hamamatsu S13360-6050CS SiPMs is studied. The optimal parameters of the experimental setup are researched and discussed. A table of Relative Energy Resolutions is given, containing data from the original sampling rate of 2 GHz, as well as data from simulated 1 GHz, 500 MHz, 250 MHz and 125 MHz devices.
