It is very common in the high energy physics field to track the high energy particles by detecting the photons generated by the particles. There a lot of challenges for the photon detectors, and extreme single photon sensitivity, dynamic range, stability, magnetic field compatibility, compactness are required. The SiPM is one of the seldom device meeting the needs of physics, and it is widely applied to the high energy physics experiments and space physics experiments.
