Novel photon detectors
arXiv:2401.06033
Abstract
The paper reviews recent progress in photodetectors, discussing vacuum-based detectors, semiconductor sensors, and gas-based detectors. The emphasis in this review is on the detection of low light levels, enhanced timing resolution, and spectral range of photon detectors, as well as the development of photosensors for extreme conditions, for operation in cryogenic and high radiation-level environments.
