OSTI ID:4121903
A study of photomultipliers is made to establish their physical limits of performance and to find how they can be improved. The properties of photomultipliers are discussed as preliminary to studies of arrangement of photocathodefirst dynode space, passage of electrons through a grid in a photomultiplier, optimum location of a secondary multiplication dynode for low dispersion of time-of-flight, arrangement of the deflection section of the stage, limitations because of space charges in latter stages, practical construction of a fast photomultiplier, and use of photocathodes with a high quantum yield.
