Evaluation of Hamamatsu R1635 photomultiplier
Abstract
Characteristics have been measured of the Hamamatsu R1635 10 mm-diameter photomultiplier. Some typical photomultiplier characteristics - such as gain, dark current, transit and rise times - are compared with data provided by the manufacturer. Photomultiplier characteristics, generally not available from the manufacturer, such as the single photoelectron and pulse response time spread for full photocathode illumination were measured and are discussed.
