SiPM Characterisation and Quality Assurance for Imaging Calorimeters — •Patrick Eckert — Kirchhoff-Institut für Physik, Heidelberg

Future lepton colliders like the ILC require a new generation of detectors with unprecedented precision. In this context the CALICE collaboration is developing a highly granular "imaging" calorimeter consisting out of ca. 8 million scintillating tiles with Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) readout. SiPMs are a novel type of solid state photo-detectors with promising properties. A detailed understanding and characterisation of the SiPMs as well as the characterisation and quality assurance of the scintillating tiles is essential for the final detector. In this talk results of the studies on SiPM and tile characterisation and large scale quality assurance are presented.
