Description
Summary:Recently, a SiPM digitizer has been implemented in GATE version 8.2 and has been made available as open source code. A standalone version of this experimentally-validated digitizer is presented here, which allows to simulate a SiPM offline or with data not specifically generated with GATE. It is composed of a C++ class with a default implemention including several functions modeling the SiPM detection efficiency, geometry, noise properties (crosstalk, afterpulse), timing response (SPTR and micro-cell signal shape generation). All parameters can be modified by the user to match with a desired experimental or simulated setup. The SiPM class allows Mont Carlo simulation at the micro-cell scale and is based on the generation of a signal for each impinging photon (also called pulse) onto a micro-cell.
