Preliminary evaluation of RCA C83036E prototype photomultiplier
Abstract
Characteristics of the prototype RCA C83036E 52 mm diameter photomultiplier were measured. The results of the measurements of the gain, dark current, photocathode quantum efficiency, peak output current, electron transit time, and output pulse rise time as a function of voltage between anode and cathode are given. Single photoelectron time spread, multiphotoelectron time resolution, pulse height spectrum and afterpulse time spectrum are discussed.
