چکیده

A general solution to the positive ion feedback problem in Hybrid Photon Detectors (HPD), photo multipliers (PM) and other similar detectors was found in the insertion of a permanent electrostatic potential barrier which prevents drift of positive ions from the anode, or the first dynode, towards the photocathode. In this paper we present the method as applied to the Intevac HPD.

Imaging Hybrid Photon Detectors with Minimized Dead Area and Protection Against Positive Ion Feedback

Imaging Hybrid Photon Detectors (HPD) have been developed for integration in large area Cherenkov detectors for high energy physics and astrophysics. The presented designs – developed particularly for the experiments MAGIC, LHCb and AQUA-RICH – comprise very good imaging properties, protection against positive ion feedback and(or) minimum dead area. The underlying innovations are discussed in s...

Novel Cherenkov photon detectors

Gaseous detectors using multiple gas electron multiplier (GEM) electrodes permit to attain large amplification factors with a strong suppression of photon and ion-mediated feedback. With the first GEM in a cascade coated with a photosensitive layer, they provide efficient and fast single photon detection, with excellent position resolution. General performances of CsI-coated multi-GEM detectors...

Superconducting Nanowire Single photon detector (SNSPD) for Quantum Information

In the beginning of this century, a new type of detector, superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD or SSPD) joined the family of superconducting sensors and detectors. Soon, it has been turning to be one of the most important players in this family since it surpasses the semiconducting single photon detectors (APD: avalanche photodiode and PMT: photo multiplier tube) with many adv...

The Photon-Assisted Cascaded Electron Multiplier: a Concept for Potential Avalanche-Ion Blocking

We present a Photon-Assisted Cascaded Electron Multipliers (PACEM) which has a potential for ion back-flow blocking in gaseous radiation detectors: the avalanche from a first multiplication stage propagates to the successive one via its photons, which in turn induce photoelectron emission from a photocathode deposited on the second multiplier stage; the multiplication process may further contin...
