Performance of Hamamatsu 64-anode photomultipliers for use with wavelength–shifting optical fibres
نویسنده
چکیده
Hamamatsu R5900-00-M64 and R7600-00-M64 photomultiplier tubes will be used with wavelength–shifting optical fibres to read out scintillator strips in the MINOS near detector. We report on measurements of the gain, efficiency, linearity, crosstalk, and dark noise of 232 of these PMTs, of which 219 met MINOS requirements.

Readout of the Hamamatsu H8500-03 MAPMT with the n-XYter chip
GSI, Darmstadt, Germany Abstract: Hamamatsu Multi Anode Photomultipliers H8500-03 are currently foreseen as photodetector for the CBM-RICH. To operate the H8500-03 with the nXYter chip, which is a prototype of a future CBM data acquisition readout, the photomultiplier signals have to be strongly attenuated. An attenuator in form of a charge divider has been developed and tested. After laborator...
متن کاملTesting of Hamamatsu R5900-00-M64 Multi-Pixel PMTs for MINOS
The MINOS long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment is comprised of three calorimeters, a Near Detector at FNAL, a Far Detector at the Soudan mine in northern Minnesota, and a Calibration Detector in a test beam at CERN. The light produced in the interactions of neutrinos in the Near Detector at FNAL will be routed by optical fibres onto the pixels of Hamamatsu R5900-00-M64 multi-anode phot...
متن کاملDevelopment of a compact scintillator hodoscope with wavelength-shifting fibre read-out
We report on the prototyping of a plastic scintillator hodoscope with wavelengthshifting fibre read-out by a multi-anode photomultiplier as part of the development of a detector for cosmic ray muons to be carried aboard an aircraft. Light yield and light attenuation measurements on singleand double-clad wavelength-shifting fibres were performed. Low power, low-threshold, discriminators were des...
متن کاملBehaviour in Magnetic Fields of Fast Conventional and Fine-Mesh Photomultipliers
The performance of both conventional and fine-mesh Hamamatsu photomultipliers has been measured inside moderate magnetic fields. This has allowed the test of effective shielding solutions for photomultipliers, to be used in time-of-flight detectors based on scintillation counters. Both signal amplitude reduction or deterioration of the timing properties inside magnetic fields have been investig...
متن کاملApplication of Hamamatsu MPPC to T2K Neutrino Detectors
A special type of Hamamatsu MPPC, with a sensitive area of 1.3×1.3 mm containing 667 pixels with 50×50 μm each, has been developed for the near neutrino detector in the T2K long baseline neutrino experiment. About 60 000 MPPCs will be used in total to read out the plastic scintillator detectors with wavelength shifting fibers. We report on the basic performance of MPPCs produced for T2K.
