Abstract
Abstract
In this article we describe the photon detection readout
electronics for the nEDM@SNS experiment. The chosen “photon
counting” architecture, which utilizes high-efficiency silicon
photomultipliers (SiPMs) and is appropriate for low-light
applications, allows the use of a relatively high SiPM operating
voltage. This maximizes photon detection efficiency and minimizes
gain/efficiency voltage-dependence while eliminating direct optical
cross-talk.
