Abstract: A silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) based detection system includes a plurality of scintillators, SiPMs, a front end circuit, adjustment circuits, and an energy and position processing unit. The SiPMs have a non-linear response to energy deposition corresponding to radiation detection. The adjustment circuit is configured to receive an analog signal from SiPMs, and to provide an adjusted analog signal, which is configured to simulate a signal corresponding to a linear response. The energy and position processing unit utilizes the adjusted signal to provide energy and position information of detected events in the detector block.
