Abstract :
In this paper we present the results of tests of photomultiplier tubes with microchannel plates (MCP—PMT), which were manufactured at INP as prototypes for future use in particle detectors. The MCP—PMTs have smaller height/diameter ratio in comparison with ordinary PMTs, a gain of 104–107 and can operate in a magnetic field. Considerable degradation of the tubes occurs at about 0.01 C/cm2 of collected anode charge. The PMT—MCPs show a clear single-electron peak. They were tested in setups with a quartz Cherenkov radiator and a NaI(TI) scintillation crystal.
