Abstract
Operation of silicon avalanche detectors based on a Metal-Resistive la yer-Semiconductor (MRS) structure is presented, Results refer to a new batch of detectors fabricated on a n-type substrate especially made t o be used as light detecting elements of a scintillating fiber detecto r for high energy physics applications. These detectors are meant for weak light fluxes in the range 200-600 nm (called UV MRS). Measurement s of gain, noise and quantum efficiency were performed and operation o f the detector at different temperatures was also studied.
