Description

The motivation for this project is to develop silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) detectors to be used in an upper year physics laboratory course at Queen's University. The SiPM detector was chosen for it's compact size, sensitivity and low bias voltage. My work focused on how to characterize a SiPM and analyzing experimental data from inorganic scintillating crystals using the DRS4 readout system.
