The Vacuum Phototriodes for the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter P R Hobson, D C Imrie, O Sharif

This paper discusses the design and performance of vacuum phototriodes (VPTs) used in the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL) for the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment. It covers the properties of lead tungstate, radiation levels, VPT performance in the end cap, and APD performance in the barrel. The paper also provides a status summary of the ECAL.
