The results of measurements of the characteristics of photodetectors based on large-area SiPM matrices with a wide dynamic range are presented. The potential application of SiPM-based photodetectors for electromagnetic calorimetry in the energy range from hundreds of keV to tens of GeV is explored. The potential application of SiPM in gamma-spectroscopy is also discussed.
The method to calculate the non-linearity correction of the electromagnetic calorimeter response, based on minimisation of the deviation of the measured neutral meson mass on the energies of it decay photons, is described in this paper. This method was developed for the electromagnetic calorimeter LGD2 in the Hyperon-M experiment at U70 accelerator of IHEP. The found correction allowed to reduce significantly variations of the reconstructed $π^0$ and $η$ masses on the minimal energy of the mesons.
We have made the comparison of three parametrizations of the proton electromagnetic form factors in the space-like region using the largest data set on $e^{\pm} p$ elastic scattering ever used. All models have a correct analytical structure with a minimal set of well known singularities. For the first time an effective two-pion intermediate coulombic bound state (pionium) was included into GVMD for nucleon formfactors. For the proton charge radius an estimate derived from our best fits is as follows: r_E^p [\rm fm] = 0.897 \pm 0.002(exp) \pm 0.001(norm) \pm 0.003(models). The traditional ``model independent'' fit by quadratic polynomial gives, in our estimation technology, a much cruder estimate r^p_{E,polinomial} [\rm fm] = 0.887 \pm 0.006(exp) \pm 0.096(norm). Both estimates are closer to the value estimated from the recent hydrogen Lamb shift measurements.
