In High-Energy physics applications, electronic devices will experience ever-increasing radiation doses. The forthcoming increase of the luminosity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will require electronics to be able to withstand ultrahigh total ionizing dose (TID) levels up to 1 Grad(SiO2). For this reason, research on the TID response of modern technologies at ultrahigh doses has...
Several next-generation experiments will use SiPMs cooled to very low temperatures. The DUNE experiment will use large arrays of SiPMs to detect scintillation light produced in liquid argon (90 K) by neutrino interactions. Each channel will require single photon sensitivity with a total photosensitive area of tens of cm$^2$, read out with a single amplifier. Due to the low source impedance,...
