Abstract

The after-pulsing probability in Silicon Photomultipliers and its time constant are obtained measuring the mean number of photo-electrons in a variable time window following a light pulse. The method, experimentally simple and statistically robust due to the use of the Central Limit Theorem, has been qualified applying it to an HAMAMATSU Multi Pixel Photon Counter (MPPC) S10362-11-100C.
