Description

We present results of radiation tests of 1.3×1.3 mm^2 and 2.0×2.0 mm^2 for Hamamatsu silicon photo-multiplier (SiPM) sensors. These studies were performed to evaluate the suitability of the Hamamatsu devices for use in the Mu2e Cosmic Ray Veto. Distinct sets of eight SiPMs were exposed to four different 1 MeV neutron equivalent doses of 200 MeV protons. Measurements of the breakdown voltage, gain and noise rates at different bias overvoltages, photoelectron thresholds, and LED illumination levels were taken before and after irradiation.
