Characterization of the New R5900 Hamamatsu Photomultiplier in Pisa
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on a wide program of tests of the new conception Hama-matsu photomultiplier R5900. Fifteen of such photomultipliers have been characterized in Pisa testing their main parameters with a dedicated setup. Such a test program has been carried out in the framework of the study of a realistic prototype of the future ATLAS tile hadronic calorimeter (TILECAL).

Testing 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 کاملPerformance of Hamamatsu 64-anode photomultipliers for use with wavelength–shifting optical fibres
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.
متن کاملCharacterization of a multianode photomultiplier tube for use with scintillating fibers to detect gamma rays
The performance of a multianode photomultiplier tube (MAPMT) with 64 anodes coupled to scintillating fibers has been examined. Such a detector system can be used in a pairproduction gamma-ray telescope as well as in other applications. The characteristics of these tubes (Hamamatsu R5900-00-M64) are presented including single photoelectron sensitivity, electrical and optical cross-talk, and dark...
متن کاملCharacterization of 1800 Hamamatsu R7600-M4 PMTs for CMS HF Calorimeter upgrade
The Hadronic Forward calorimeters of the CMS experiment are Cherenkov calorimeters that use quartz fibers and 1728 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) for readout. The CMS detector upgrade project requires the current Hamamatsu R7525 PMTs to be replaced with 4-anode, high quantum efficiency R7600-M4 PMTs. The new PMTs will improve the detector resolution, as well as the capability of removing fake eve...
متن کاملMultianode photomultipliers as position-sensitive detectors of single photons
Tests of 2300 Hamamatsu multianode photomultipliers (1543 pieces of R5900-M16 and 762 pieces of R5900-M4) have been tested on the bench in order to evaluate their performance for use as position-sensitive photon detectors in the ring imaging Cherenkov counter of the HERA-B experiment.1 A weak and stable source of photons has been obtained by Cherenkov radiation of electrons from a 90Sr source i...
