چکیده
The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory will use an array of 9500 Hamamatsu R1480 8-in. photomultiplier tubes and their associated concentrators to detect Cherenkov light. This paper describes an experimental investigation of the photomultiplier tubes and their concentrators, together with work done to model the angular and wavelength response. Good agreement is achieved. 0168~9002/96/$15.00 Copyright @ 1996 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved PIISO168-9002(96)00861-3

Parameterisation of the angular response of the R1408 Hamamatsu eight-inch photomultiplier tube to be used in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
This paper describes measurements made on Hamamatsu R1408 8-m. photomultiplier tubes in order to parameterise the cesium bialkali photocathode in terms of a complex refractive index fi and a thickness T. The extracted parameters have been used to predict the angular response of the photomultiplier tubes, and this prediction has been experimentally verified. Measurements were taken on a number o...
متن کاملSno and Supernovae
a The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) has unique capabilities as a supernova detector. In the event of a galactic supernova there are opportunities, with the data that SNO would collect, to constrain certain intrinsic neutrino properties significantly, to test details of the various models of supernova dynamics, and to provide prompt notification to the astronomical community through the Sup...
متن کاملMeasurement of Rn dissolved in water at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
The technique used at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) to measure the concentration of Rn in water is described. Water from the SNO detector is passed through a vacuum degasser (in the light water system) or a membrane contact degasser (in the heavy water system) where dissolved gases, including radon, are liberated. The degasser is connected to a vacuum system which collects the radon on...

متن کاملInvestigation of Collimator Influential Parameter on SPECT Image Quality: a Monte Carlo Study
Background: Obtaining high quality images in Single Photon Emission Tomography (SPECT) device  is the most important goal in nuclear medicine. Because if image quality is low, the possibility of making a mistake in diagnosing and treating the patient will rise. Studying effective factors in spatial resolution of imaging systems is thus deemed to be vital. One of the most important factors in S...
