Liquid noble gas detectors for low energy particle physics (2012, background): “The exciting and fast-paced history of recent developments in photon detectors, including vacuum-based, solid-state and their combinations, can be found in the review articles [261, 262, 251, 263].”
Characterization of three high efficiency and blue sensitive silicon photomultipliers (2016, background): “For a review of the history of SiPMs and their basic functionality, the reader is referred to [7] and references therein.”
The digital silicon photomultiplier — Principle of operation and intrinsic detector performance (2009, background): “The typical light yield of the scintillator according to [1] is also given in the table for reference.”
Design and operation of FACT - the first G-APD Cherenkov telescope (2013, background): “Up to now, all cameras of IACTs have been built with photomultiplier tubes (PMT), but during the last years novel solid-state photosensors have been developed [7].”
Understanding and simulating SiPMs (2019, methodology): “In a SiPM it is possible to count each fired SPAD separately: (i) in a digital fashion (digital SiPM), where each SPAD is connected to its own readout electronic circuit [6,9] or (ii) by the amplitude (or charge) of the sum of the single SPAD signals like in an analog SiPM [1,2,10].”
