Journal Article · · Bull. inform. sci. et tech.
OSTI ID:4275716
The experimental results obtained with the type 204 photomultipliers are given. The form of the anodic impulses was analyzed. The anodic impulse corresponding to the emission of a single photoelectron tom the photocathode was determined, and a measurement of the fluctuations of the transit time of the photomultiplier was thus obtained. The impulse coming from the emission of several photcelectrons projected simultaneously by the cathode was analyzed. A measurement of the fluctuations of the transit time between the photocathode, first dynode, and multiplier was Obtained. The variations of isochronism between the center and the edge of the photocathode were analyzed. The experimertal results are in agreement with the calculated results and show that the photomultiplier, when associated with an adequate electronic circuit, has a resolution time better than a millimicrosecond.
