Description
Silicon photo-multipliers (SiPM) are widely used as light detectors for the next generation of experiments dedicated to high energy physics. Compared to the traditional photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), the SiPM offers several advantages such as excellent single-photon resolution, low power consumption, low sensitivity to magnetic fields, small dimension. However, for the multi-ton noble liquid detectors commercially available SiPM are not suitable for large coverage due to higher cost and additional packaging material. In this talk, we present our considerations on developing a new class of monolithic active single-photon detectors with integrated readout electronics for scintillation light detection in the next generation experiments.
