Performance of Hamamatsu 64-anode photomultipliers for use with wavelength-shifting optical fibres
Abstract
Hamamatsu R5900-00-M64 and R7600-00-M64 photomultiplier tubes will be used with wavelength-shifting optical fibres to read out scintillator strips in the MINOS near detector. We report on measurements of the gain, efficiency, linearity, crosstalk, and dark noise of 232 of these PMTs, of which 219 met MINOS requirements.

We gratefully acknowledge the help and assistance provided by Hamamatsu Photonics Ltd, and thank them for allowing us to reproduce some of their specifications here. We appreciate the assistance of B. Brooks for his help assembling our LED pulser, and P. Sullivan for his work designing and producing the PMT bases. Most importantly, we would like to thank the members of the MINOS collaboration, in particular G. Drake, for his help with instrumentation, K. Ruddick for his work on WLS spectra, J. Alner and T. Durkin for work on PMT boxes and M. Kordosky, and P. Vahle for their work in early pioneering of the techniques with M16 PMTs. This work was funded by the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council to which we are grateful for support.Attached Files
