Single photon performance characterisation of a Generation I Large Area Picosecond PhotoDetector
Robert Foster, Andrew Scarff, Matthew Malek
The single photoelectron performance characteristics of a Large Area Picosecond PhotoDetector (LAPPD) were studied using a picosecond optical laser source. We verify that the LAPPD…

Characterisation of the Temperature-dependent Dark Rate of Hamamatsu R7081-100 10" Photomultiplier Tubes
Steve T. Wilson, Samuel Fargher, Robert J. Foster +4
Dark noise is a dominant background in photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), which are commonly used in liquid-filled particle detectors for single-photon detection to see the results of p…
