Temperature dependence of radiation damage annealing of Silicon Photomultipliers

Nicolas De Angelis, Merlin Kole, Franck Cadoux +9

The last decade has increasingly seen the use of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) instead of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). This is due to various advantages of the former on the la…
