Abstract :
The influence of transit time differences due to the photocathode geometry and the influence of non-uniformity of photoelectric yield and collection efficiency of optical input system, on photomultipliers time resolution, were investigated. The calculation of transit time differences contribution were performed and the theoritical results were compared with the experimental measurements results.
