Development of a Long Life Photomultiplier Tube for High Flux Applications
This detector R&D proposal focused on the development of long-life microchannel plate (MCP) photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), capable of high rate operations. A microchannel plate is basically a thin (typically less than 1 mm) lead-glass disk with a regular array of tiny tubes (microchannels) that are densely distributed over the entire surface. The parallel microchannels, or pores, typically range in diameter from 2 to 25 µm, and each one forms a continuous-dynode electron multiplier, in which the multiplication takes place under the presence of a strong electric field.
