  • Abstract
    High-temperature photomultipliers were studied to determine their performance characteristics as a function of temperature in the range of 20°C to 200°C. Photocathode sensitivity and thermionic emission were characterized. Pulse height, pulse-height resolution and plateau counting widths were studied with a simulated 137Cs scintillation source. Room temperature performance was not significantly degraded after repeated cycling to 200°C. Detailed results are reported.
