SiPM Gain Calculations
Equation 1: (from Hannah's oral paper)
Equation 2: (from Hannah's oral paper)
In Table 1, the values determined for ΔnPE are shown. As the time bin conversion for the TB4 board is 4.708 nsec/bin, and the conversion from ADC to mV is (ADC+7.7)/299.8, the distances between peaks can be converted to pV·s. Using Equation 2, along with the fact that R=50Ω is the load resistance of the TB4 board, the gains can be calculated.

| SiPM | Distance (ADC·bin) | Distance (pV·s) | SiPM Gain |
| A | 758 ± 2 | 11.90 ± 0.04 | (1.486 ± 0.007) × 106 |
| B | 686 ± 7 | 10.77 ± 0.11 | (1.345 ± 0.015) × 106 |
| C | 676 ± 3 | 10.62 ± 0.05 | (1.325 ± 0.008) × 106 |
