Abstract
In recent years silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) have been proposed as a new readout system for scintillation detectors; these devices are characterized by a low bias voltage, a small dimension and the insensitivity to magnetic fields, making them a suitable alternative to the photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) in many experimental situations. The performances of FBK-irst SiPMs have been evaluated in different testbeams performed at CERN. The first setup consists of amplified SiPMs, characterized in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, efficiency and time response when connected to a tracker/calorimeter composed of plastic scintillator bars. In the second setup the performances of non-amplified SiPMs have been evaluated in terms of linearity and energy resolution when connected to two scintillator-lead shashlik calorimeters.
