First tests and long-term prospects of Geigermode avalanche photodiodes as camera sensors for IACTs
Eckart Lorenz, Razmick Mirzoyan, Hiroko Miyamoto +2
Geigermode avalanche photodiodes (G-APD) are novel photodetectors, which can detect single photons. This type of diodes might become an alternative to photomultipliers (PMT) in nex…
Suzaku and Multi-wavelength Observations of OJ 287 during the Periodic Optical Outburst in 2007
Hiromi Seta, Naoki Isobe, Makoto S. Tashiro +10
Suzaku observations of the blazar OJ 287 were performed in 2007 April 10--13 and November 7--9. They correspond to a quiescent and a flaring state, respectively. The X-ray spectra…
The Next Generation of Photo-Detectors for Particle Astrophysics
Robert G. Wagner, Karen L. Byrum, Mayly Sanchez +6
We advocate support of research aimed at developing alternatives to the photomultiplier tube for photon detection in large astroparticle experiments such as gamma-ray and neutrino…
