Silicon photomultipliers, thanks to their excellent performance, robustness and relatively simple use, are the photon-detectors of choice for many present and future applications. This paper gives an overview of methods to characterise SiPMs. The different SiPM parameters are introduced and generic setups for their determination presented. Finally, ways to extract the parameters from the measurements are discussed and the results shown. If a parameter can be obtained from different measurements, the results are compared and recommendations given, which is considered to be the most reliable. The characterisation of SiPMs, in particular for high light intensities and in high radiation fields, is presently a field of intensive research with many open questions and problems which will be discussed.

  1. Response to cosmic muons of scintillator-SiPM assemblies measured at different temperatures

    For scintillator tiles read out by silicon photomultipliers, adding reflective film makes the muon light yield temperature-dependent, with roughly 10 percent lower response at -30 C than at +30 C.
