Description
A stand to study of radiation damage of SiPMs at BINP (Novosibirsk, Russia) was developed. The stand is based on BNCT (Boron Neutron Capture Therapy) facility. The facility has option to produce fast neutrons with an energy up to 15 MeV. These neutrons are used to irradiation and are formed in the process of nuclear reactions during the interaction of deuteron beam with thin layer of lithium: $d + ^7Li \to ^8Be + n + 15.028~MeV$ and $d + ^7Li \to 2^4He + n + 15.122~MeV$. Integral dose at the level of $10^{14} neq/cm^2$ can be obtained. In December 2024 first irradiation of SiPMs was performed, results and further plans will be presented.
