Implication

Randomized trial examines radiation effects on silicon photomultipliers, suggesting operational status influences damage.

Key Points

This research aims to analyze the performance changes in silicon photomultipliers after radiation exposure, focusing on operational versus non-operational states.
Silicon photomultipliers samples exposed to non-uniform radiation at the CHARM facility, CERN.
Half of the samples operated above breakdown during testing while others remained off.
Intermittent measurements captured changes in I-V curves and signal shapes during irradiation.
Operational SiPM samples showed significant differences in I-V curves versus non-operational samples.
Signal shapes differed considerably between the two conditions.
Irradiation damage assessment highlighted the operational status's impact on SiPM performance.
