Abstract
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) have been used in several space-borne missions, and the radiation effect as well as the performance degradation must be a concern during space operations. SiPMs will be used as photon-electric devices of the Plastic Scintillator Detector (PSD) for the High Energy Cosmic Radiation Detection (HERD) facility, and the performance change of these SiPMs under in-orbit radiation needs to be studied to satisfy the 10 years of in-orbit operation mission. In this study, the radiation damage and annealing for potential SiPM candidates including Hamamatsu and Novel Device Laboratory series have been done. The dark current for S14160–3010 PS(HM10), S14160–3015 PS(HM15), and EQR1511-3030D-S(NDL15) was observed to increase by a factor of 300, 400, and 200 after exposure to an equivalent on-orbit dose of 10 years. PSD showed a significant decrease in MIP detection capability after irradiation. In addition, annealing of neutron radiation damages in SiPM at temperatures 50 °C and room temperature is studied.
期刊介绍:
Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section.
Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
