We report radiation hardness tests performed, with a white neutron beam, at the Geel Electron LINear Accelerator in Belgium on silicon Photo-Multipliers. These are semiconductor photon detectors made of a square matrix of Geiger-Mode Avalanche photo-diodes on a silicon substrate. Several samples from different manufacturers have been irradiated integrating up to about 6.2 × 10 9 1-MeV-equivalent neutrons per cm2. © 2013 IEEE.

Abstract
We report radiation hardness tests performed, with a white neutron beam, at the Geel Electron LINear Accelerator in Belgium on silicon Photo-Multipliers. These are semiconductor photon detectors made of a square matrix of Geiger-Mode Avalanche photo-diodes on a silicon substrate. Several samples from different manufacturers have been irradiated integrating up to about 6.2 × 10 9 1-MeV-equivalent neutrons per cm2. © 2013 IEEE.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
