The multi-pixel photon counter (MPPC), or Geiger-mode avalanche photo-diode (GM-APD), also known as silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) is of great interest as a photon detector for high-energy physics scintillation counters, and other applications. In this paper we discuss some of the performance characteristics of MPPCs, and several applications, namely for muon cooling experiments, rare muon decay modes, and collider detectors. In addition we will discuss advances in signal processing electronics for MPPCs, which further enhance their use for large-scale applications.
