    Abstract The finite number of pixels in a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) limits its dynamic range to light pulses up to typically 80% of the total number of pixels in a device. Correcting the non-linear response is essential to extend the SiPM's dynamic range. One challenge in determining the non-linear response correction is providing a reference linear light source. Instead, the single-step method used to calibrate PMTs is applied, based on the difference in responses to two light sources. With this method, the response of an HPK SiPM (S14160-1315PS) is corrected to linearity within 5% while extending the linear dynamic range by a factor larger than ten. The study shows that the response function does not vary by more than 5% for a variation in the operating voltage between 2 and 5 V overvoltage in the gate length between 20 and 100 ns and for a time delay between the primary and secondary light of up to 40 ns.

    Abstract The main consequence of radiation damage on a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) is a significant increase in the dark current. If the SiPM is not adequately cooled, the power dissipation causes it to heat up, which alters its performance parameters.

    Abstract The main effect of radiation damage in a Silicon-Photolumtiplier (SiPM) is a dramatic increase in the dark current. The power dissipated, if not properly cooled, heats the SiPM, whose performance parameters depend on temperature. Heating studies were performed with a KETEK SiPM, glued on an Al$_2$O$_3$ substrate, which is either directly connected to the temperature-controlled chuck of a probe station, or through layers of material with well-known thermal resistance. The SiPM is illuminated by a LED operated in DC-mode. The SiPM current is measured and used to determine the steady-state temperature as a function of power dissipated in the multiplication region of the SiPM and thermal resistance, as well as the time dependencies for heating and cooling. This information can be used to correct the parameters determined for radiation-damaged SiPM for the effects of self-heating. The method can also be employed for packaged SiPMs with unknown thermal contact to a heat sink. The results presented in this paper are preliminary.

    Abstract A Python program has been developed which fits a published detector-response model to SiPM charge spectra to characterise SiPMs. Spectra for SiPMs illuminated by low intensity pulsed light with Poisson-distributed number of photons and a time spread of order nanoseconds or less, can be analysed. The entire charge spectra, including the intervals in-between the photoelectron peaks, are fitted, which allows determining, in addition to the mean number of detected photons, gain, gain spread, prompt cross-talk, pedestal, and electronics noise, the dark-count rate as well as the probability and time constant of after-pulses. The starting values of the fit parameters are extracted from the charge spectra. The program performance has been evaluated using simulated charge spectra with the different SiPM parameters varied in a wide range. By analysing 100 simulated spectra for every parameter set, the biases and statistical uncertainties of the individual parameters have been determined. It is found that the parameters are precisely determined and that the entire spectra are well described, in most cases with a $\chi ^2$/NDF close to 1. In addition, measured spectra for two types of SiPMs for a wide range of over-voltages have been analysed. The program achieves mostly a good description of the spectra, and the parameters determined agree with the values from the producers and expectations. The program can be used for detailed analyses of single spectra, but, as it is compatible with the native \texttt{Python} multiprocessing module, also for the automatic characterisation of large samples of SiPMs.

    Abstract The CALICE Semi-Digital Hadron Calorimeter (SDHCAL) technological prototype is a sampling calorimeter using Glass Resistive Plate Chamber detectors with a three-threshold readout as the active medium. This technology is one of the two options proposed for the hadron calorimeter of the International Large Detector for the International Linear Collider. The prototype was exposed to beams of muons, electrons and pions of different energies at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron. To be able to study the performance of such a calorimeter in future experiments it is important to ensure reliable simulation of its response. In this paper we present our prototype simulation performed with GEANT4 and the digitization procedure achieved with an algorithm called SimDigital. A detailed description of this algorithm is given and the methods to determinate its parameters using muon tracks and electromagnetic showers are explained. The comparison with hadronic shower data shows a good agreement up to 50 GeV. Discrepancies are observed at higher energies. The reasons for these differences are investigated.

    Abstract The upgrade of the CMS experiment for the high luminosity operation of the LHC comprises the replacement of the current endcap calorimeter by a high granularity sampling calorimeter (HGCAL). The electromagnetic section of the HGCAL is based on silicon sensors interspersed between lead and copper (or copper tungsten) absorbers. The hadronic section uses layers of stainless steel as an absorbing medium and silicon sensors as an active medium in the regions of high radiation exposure, and scintillator tiles directly readout by silicon photomultipliers in the remaining regions. As part of the development of the detector and its readout electronic components, a section of a silicon-based HGCAL prototype detector along with a section of the CALICE AHCAL prototype was exposed to muons, electrons and charged pions in beam test experiments at the H2 beamline at the CERN SPS in October 2018. The AHCAL uses the same technology as foreseen for the HGCAL but with much finer longitudinal segmentation. The performance of the calorimeters in terms of energy response and resolution, longitudinal and transverse shower profiles is studied using negatively charged pions, and is compared to GEANT4 predictions. This is the first report summarizing results of hadronic showers measured by the HGCAL prototype using beam test data.
