Statistics and Timing of the First Photoelectron with a High Gain Dynode Photomultiplier
Abstract
Various types of time interval distributions are calculated assuming a compound Poisson law for the photoelectron emission. The experimental results obtained with the high gain first dynode photomultiplier RCA C 31000 D are discussed with reference to an exponential illumination function. Time resolution curves are measured by performing first photoelectron triggering.
