Time resolution performance studies of high speed photon detectors
Abstract
The time resolution capabilities of prototype microchannel plate and static crossed-field high gain photon detectors have been investigated. The devices studied included the LEP HR350 and PM 137-proximity focused high gain microchannel plate and VPM-154A/1.6L static crossed-field photomultipliers. Measurements were made of electron transit time, rise time, time response, single photoelectron time spread and multiphotoelectron time spread. The experimental data have been compared with results obtained with conventionally designed RCA 8850 and C31024 high speed photomultipliers. Descriptions are given of the measuring techniques.
