  1. Measured baseline fluctuations and dark counts with Burle-Photonis MCP-PMT's Jean-Francois Genat and Edward May Dec 2009 –Jan 2010

  2. Experimental conditions 10 and 25 mm 2” x 2” Burle-Photonis MCP tested - 25 mm MCP HV: 1.7-2.0 kV Signals taken on one anode pad and fours neighbors grounded: - 10 mm MCP HV: 2.2-2.5 kV Signals taken on one anode pad and fours neighbors grounded: Use Ed’s calibrated test setup 408nm light set at 100 Photo-Electrons TDS 6154C 18GHz abw from Tek

  3. Signals 408nm laser 100 Photo-Electrons Conclusions: Gain is 40mV/100= 0.4mV/PE (25mm) at 2100 V 5mV/100= 50 mV/PE (10mm) at 2500V 10mm somewhat faster rise time, longer trailing edge, presumably due to 4 pads connected together. The rise time does NOT depend upon the amplitude

  4. Signals spectrum Fourier spectrum of a 2”x 2” MCP signal System noise 2 GHz Slope as steep as possible

  5. Baseline dark noise vs HV Conclusion: Baseline at 675 mV , no dependence with HV

  6. Impulse dark noise vs HV Conclusion: At full efficiency (25mm 2000V, 10mm 2400V), dark counts rates are: 25Hz (25mm) 20Hz (10mm)

  7. Conclusions MCP PMTs show signals, baseline fluctuations and dark counts quite similar to regular Photomultiplier tubes With: Faster signals (device is thinner, consequently better timing resolution) rise-time 250-500ps rise time compared to 500ps-1ns Less noise compared to “good” PM Tubes: dark counts 10-100 compared to 100-1000 Hz The rise time does NOT depend upon the amplitude
