Description
Silicon Avalanche Photodiodes (APD) working in proportional were
chosen as a readout device for the PbWO4 crystals in the barrel of the
CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL). During 10 years of operation,
the CMS ECAL will be exposed to $2\times10^{13}$ neutrons/cm$^2$ under a severe
radiation environment. In this study, we studied on the effect of
photostatistical fluctuations from those of neutrons by using GEANT4
toolkit. Afterwards, the resulting photons have been tracked with a
single-particle Monte Carlo simulation technique.
