Pixel size ~20-30m

Electrical inter-pixel cross-talk minimized by:
- decoupling quenching resistor for each pixel
- boundaries between pixels to decouple them
 reduction of sensitive area
and geometrical efficiency
• Optical inter-pixel cross -talk:
-due to photons from Geiger discharge initiated
by one electron and collected on adjacent pixel
Working point: VBias = Vbreakdown + DV ~ 50-60 V
DV ~ 3V above breakdown voltage
Each pixel behaves as a Geiger counter with
Qpixel = DV Cpixel
with Cpixel~50fmF  Qpixel~150fmC=106e
Dynamic range ~ number of pixels (1024)
 saturation
SiPM Spectral Efficiency
Depletion region is very small ~ 2m
strong electric field (2-3) 105 V/cm
carrier drift velocity ~ 107 cm/s
very short Geiger discharge development < 500 ps
pixel recovery time = (Cpixel Rpixel) ~ 20 ns
Photon detection efficiency (PDE):
- for SiPM the QE (~90%) is multiplied by
Geiger efficiency (~60%) and by geometrical
efficiency (sensitive/total area ~30%)
- highest efficiency for green light
 important when using with WLS fibers
Temperature and voltage dependence:
-1 oC

Light Collection Uniformity,
Y11 MC 1mm fiber, Vladimir Scintillator,
mated sides, 3M foil on top and bottom
Reduction in light yield near tile edges
is due to finite size of a b source
Light yield drop between tiles acceptable
(Calorimeter geometry is not projective)
Cross-talk between tiles ~2% - acceptable
Light collection efficiency

Sufficient uniformity for a hadron calorimeter even for large tiles
Acceptable cross-talk between tiles of ~2% per side
Sufficient light yield of 17, 28, 21 pixels/mip for 12x12, 6x6, and 3x3 cm2 tiles
(quarter of a circle fiber in case of 3x3 cm2 tile)

Beam position
With universal SiPM calibration curve there is
no differences in response for different beam
positions (different SiPM saturation)
Cassette, Absorber and Support Structure
Cassette contains 220 tiles with SiPM and electronics
There are 40 cassettes between 2cm iron absorber
Altogether about 8000 tiles of 3x3, 6x6 and 12x12 cm2
with SiPM and individual readout
