MCP-PMT timing property for single photons
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have measured the performance, especially the timing properties, of micro-channel plate photo-multiplier tubes (MCP-PMTs) by irradiating with single photons with/without a magnetic field. A time resolution of s 1⁄4 30–35 ps was obtained for single photons under 1:5 T: With an MCP-PMT, a small time-of-flight counter, by means of Cherenkov light radiation instead of scintillation light has been prepared, and a time resolution sB10 ps was attained for a highenergy p-beam by multiple photons. r 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Cross-talk suppressed multi-anode MCP-PMT
We have developed a 4-channel multi-anode MCP-PMT, SL10, which exhibits a performance of σTTS ≃ 30 ps for single photons with G ∼ 10 6 and QE = 20% under a magnetic field of B ≤ 1.5T . The cross-talk among anodes has been extensively studied. We have taken two measures to suppress it: one is to configure the SL10 to an effectively independent 4 small pieces of MCP-PMT’s by segmenting an electro...
متن کاملAn Application of Micro-channel Plate Photomultiplier Tube to Positron Emission Tomography.
We are developing a Time-of-Flight Positron Emission Tomography detector using flat panel micro-channel plate photomultiplier tubes (MCP PMT). The high-speed waveform sampling data acquisition is adopted to exploit the fast time response of MCP PMT efficiently by using transmission-line readout scheme. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed detector, prototype detector modules were buil...
متن کاملLifetime-extended MCP-PMT
In order to develop a long-lifetime MCP-PMT under high rates of circumstance, we investigated the degradation of the quantum efficiency (QE) of PMT’s with a multialkali photocathode. We found that not only positive ions, but also neutral residual gases would damage the photocathode resulting in an enhancement of the work function; their countermeasures were established in newly manufactured squ...
متن کاملA hydroxyl radical detection system using gas expansion and fast gating laser-induced fluorescence techniques.
An OH radical measurement instrument based on Fluorescence Assay by Gas Expansion (FAGE) has been developed in our laboratory. Ambient air is introduced into a low-pressure fluorescence cell through a pinhole aperture and irradiated by a dye laser at a high repetition rate of 8.5kHz. The OH radical is both excited and detected at 308nm using A-X(0,0) band. To satisfy the high efficiency needs o...
متن کاملAvalanche Photodiodes in Submicron CMOS Technologies for High-Sensitivity Imaging
Vacuum based devices, such as Photo Multiplier Tubes (PMT) and Micro Channel Plates (MCP), have been for many years the sensors of choice for most applications calling for photon counting and timing (Renker, 2004). While providing very good sensitivity, noise and timing characteristics, these photodetectors feature a number of disadvantages: they are bulky, fragile, and sensitive to magnetic fi...
