Abstract
Statistical limitations of the detection of high-energy particles via a multielement array of avalanche photodiodes that determines the number of the secondary photons excited in the scintillator by a particle are analyzed. On the basis of the results, the requirements for the quality of single avalanche photodiodes and the total number of the photosensitive elements in the array can be formulated.
