Cherenkov detectors are an indispensable tool in a number of particle physics experiments, in particular in flavor physics. For the next generation of particle physics experiments, novel methods will be employed where single photons have to be detected with an excellent time precision. Several novel very fast light sensors with single photon detection abilities have been developed for this purpose, including micro-channel plate PMTs, hybrid avalanche photo-diodes (HAPD), and solid state sensors (SiPMs). It turned out that these sensors can …
