Abstract: This research contributes directly to the advancement of radiation detection technology, which is crucial for enhancing nuclear security and safeguarding.Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are a promising technology in radiation detection due to their compact size, low power consumption, and high photon detection efficiency, making them ideal for applications in environments like nuclear material monitoring and verification under international safeguards.By improving the understanding of how SiPMs perform in various temperature conditions, this work supports the IAEA's ongoing efforts to improve safeguards technologies.This research is aligned with the IAEA's research plan on enhancing verification methods to ensure the non-proliferation of nuclear materials.Understanding the noise mechanisms of SiPMs can help improve the accuracy and reliability of detection systems, which are vital for the successful implementation of global nuclear safeguards protocols.
