Development of a Long Life Photomultiplier Tube for High Flux Applications

Technical Report Brandt, Andrew` Gerhart

Development of a Long Life Photomultiplier Tube for High Flux Applications Professor Andrew Brandt, University of Texas, Arlington (Principal Investigator) This detector R&D proposal focuses on the development of long-life microchannel plate (MCP) photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) capable of high rate operations. Photomultiplier tubes are devices that convert small amounts of light into an electrical signal. They generally consist of three basic parts: i) a photocathode that makes use of the photoelectric effect to convert incoming photons (bits of light) into electrons, ii) an electron multiplying component, and iii) a charge collecting component that outputs a measurable electric signal. MCP-PMTs usemore »« less

Cross strip microchannel plate imaging photon counters with high time resolution

Conference Stonehill, Laura C ; Shirey, Robert ; Rabin, Michael W ; ...

We have implemented cross strip readout microchannel plate detectors in 18 mm active area format including open face (UV/particle) and sealed tube (optical) configurations. These have been tested with a field programmable gate array based parallel channel electronics for event encoding which can process high input event rates (> 5 MHz) with high spatial resolution. Using small pore MCPs (6 {micro}m) operated in a pair, we achieve gains of >5 x 10{sup 5} which is sufficient to provide spatial resolution of <35 {micro}m FHWM, with self triggered event timing accuracy of {approx}2 ns for sealed tube optical sensors.

Advanced energy-resolving imaging detectors for applications at pulsed neutron sources

Technical Report Feller, Bruce ; White, Brian

NOVA Scientific herein reports results from the DOE SBIR Phase IIB project. We continue to move forward to enhance the effectiveness of very high spatial and timing resolution MCP position-sensitive detectors into the epithermal or “above-thermal” neutron energy range – where NOVA’s neutron-sensitive NeuViewTM MCPs are already widely acknowledged as highly effective for cold and thermal neutron energies. As a result of these developments, these increasingly accepted neutron detection devices will be better able to perform energy-resolved neutron detection and imaging at the growing number of highly advanced pulsed neutron sources internationally, detecting individual neutrons with a spatial resolution ofmore »« less
Quadrant anode image sensor

Journal Article Lampton, M. ; Malina, R.F. - Rev. Sci. Instrum.; (United States)

A position-sensitive event-counting electronic readout system for microchannel plates (MCPs) is described that offers the advantages of high spatial resolution and fast time resolution. The technique relies upon a four-quadrant electron-collecting anode located behind the output face of the microchannel plate, so that the electron cloud from each detected event is partly intercepted by each of the four quadrants. The relative amounts of charge collected by each quadrant depend on event position, permitting each event to be localized with two ratio circuits. A prototype quadrant anode system for ion, electron, and extreme ultraviolet imaging is described. The spatial resolution achieved,more »« less

Towards a microchannel-based X-ray detector with two-dimensional spatial and time resolution and high dynamic range

Journal Article Adams, Bernhard W. ; Mane, Anil U. ; Elam, Jeffrey W. ; ... - Journal of Synchrotron Radiation (Online)

X-ray detectors that combine two-dimensional spatial resolution with a high time resolution are needed in numerous applications of synchrotron radiation. Most detectors with this combination of capabilities are based on semiconductor technology and are therefore limited in size. Furthermore, the time resolution is often realised through rapid time-gating of the acquisition, followed by a slower readout. Here, a detector technology is realised based on relatively inexpensive microchannel plates that uses GHz waveform sampling for a millimeter-scale spatial resolution and better than 100 ps time resolution. The technology is capable of continuous streaming of time- and location-tagged events at rates greatermore »« less
