Abstract
A Large Array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (LACT) will be constructed at the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory site to explore the nature of PeV gamma-ray sources. The cameras of LACT will use Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) as the photodetector. A dedicated test system was built to select SiPMs for LACT. The characteristics of six SiPM models from three manufacturers (Hamamatsu, Joinbon, and ON Semiconductor) were evaluated. Based on the characteristics of the candidate SiPMs and their preamplifiers, a Wiener-deconvolution algorithm is implemented to correct the pileup of the SiPM output pulses. The measurement methods and results for breakdown voltage, gain, dark count rate, optical crosstalk, and afterpulsing of the candidate SiPMs are reported in this article.
