Hybrid phototube with Si target
Abstract
R & D programmes for future supercollider detectors require photomultipliers that offer high speed, good linearity, wide dynamic range, a good stability and do not need bleeder resistance networks. It has been demonstrated that a hybrid photomultiplier, being a vacuum phototube in which the photoelectrons are focused onto a Si PIN diode, fulfils these requirements. The next step will be a multipixel tube adding position sensitivity to the detector.
