Description
The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of radiation on scintillators with SiPM senors and electronics elements. These components will be in the MPD detector which is one of the main parts of the NICA project and it's very important to know the sensivity level on radiation of these items. Therefor, three experiments were prepared in which the proton, neutron and heavy ion beams were used to irradiate the elements. Changes in the samples were checked during irradiation. The obtained results turned out to be surprising and the sensivity of the SiPM sensors is much higher than expected.
