摘要：
Semiconductor photo sensors have in comparison with other detectors used in the ring image Cherenkov (RICH) and in the internally reflected Cherenkov light (DIRC) technique, photomultipier tubes and their derivates, a number of advantages: they have high photon detection efficiency (similar to 50%), are insensitive to magnetic fields, operate at low voltages and allow a compact, light and robust design. Specially the relatively new Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode (also called silicon photomultiplier) is a promising candidate for a detector of Cherenkov photons. The state of the development and the problems of this device will be described.
