Conclusions<br />
● <strong>SiPMs</strong> are great devices but we are still wait<strong>in</strong>g for the perfect<br />
version<br />
● PDE <strong>of</strong> ~60% <strong>in</strong> the blue (the <strong>to</strong>ughest one)<br />
● No optical crosstalk (trenches)<br />
● Fast output signals (tap<strong>in</strong>g at diode)<br />
● Temperature dependence <strong>of</strong> PDE <strong>and</strong> ga<strong>in</strong> ~0.5%/C (small capacitances)<br />
● Cheap (ma<strong>in</strong> costs are lithographic masks)<br />
● Exist<strong>in</strong>g devices are equal <strong>to</strong> or outperform PMTs which is why we<br />
build IACTs <strong>with</strong> <strong>SiPMs</strong> (see next talk)<br />
● Ma<strong>in</strong> nuisances can be worked around but compromises have <strong>to</strong> be<br />
made
