Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce this Special Issue devoted to instruments based on silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) for particle and radiation detection. The focus will be on original research and state-of-the-art instruments that take advantage of SiPMs' capabilities. Reviews of the requirements and solutions for specific application fields are also welcome.
We especially invite you to contribute papers on the following subjects:
- SiPMs in particle physics detectors;
- SiPMs in astronomy and astrophysics;
- SiPMs in medical imaging detectors or biomedical applications;
- SiPMs in space detectors;
- SiPMs in radiation protection and homeland security;
- SiPMs in LiDAR systems;
- Other instruments based on SiPMs;
- Mass production of instruments and mass characterization procedures;
- SiPM-dedicated electronics (readout, control systems, etc.);
- Calibration methods and results;
- Simulation packages for SiPM systems
This is an excellent opportunity to get your new ideas on the map (and establish intellectual property at the same time), for selected contributed papers. Material from white papers can of course be used, if at peer-reviewable level.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Instruments is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
