Incom Inc. Large Area Picosecond Photodetector (LAPPD) 38 has been tested at Jefferson Lab to identify single-photoelectron signals to assess the potential of this type of device for future applications in Cherenkov light detection. Here, single-photoelectron signals were clearly detected if a tight masking of photons impinging on the photocathode was used compared to the pixelation of the charge collection signal board.
