Title: Dual low vacuum-ultrahigh vacuum system for large-scale production of micro-channel plate photomultipliers

Patent ·
OSTI ID:2222037

Systems and methods for the batch production of large numbers of highly uniform multichannel-plate photomultiplier tubes (MCP-PMTs) for large-scale applications are provided. The systems and methods employ dual, nested low-vacuum (LV) and UHV processing in a rapid-cycling, small-footprint, scalable, batch-production facility that is capable of fabricating many MCP-PMTs simultaneously.
