Quality Assurance on a custom SiPMs array for the Mu2e experiment

Abstract

The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will search for the coherent μ → e conversion on aluminum atoms. The detector system consists of a straw tube tracker and a crystal calorimeter. A pre-production of 150 Silicon Photomultiplier arrays for the Mu2ecalorimeter has been procured. A detailed quality assurance has been carried out on each SiPM for the determination of its own operation voltage, gain, dark current and PDE. The measurement of the mean-time-to-failure for a small random sample of the pro-production group has been also completed as well as the determination of the dark current increase as a function of the ioninizing and non-ioninizing dose.
