Abstract

A proof of concept is delivered regarding the performance and feasibility of using silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) solid state light readout devices in noble gas scintillation detectors. By immersing SiPMs directly in the scintillating gas, light collection values can be achieved that are highly competitive with those of PMT based detectors. The work further shows that pulse shape discrimination information is accessible even with the SiPM readout. This proof of concept opens the door for the design of highly rugged, low cost, high performance detectors.
