Abstract: A photomultiplier tube, a photomultiplier tube unit, and a performance-improved radiation detector for increasing a fixing area of a side tube in a faceplate while increasing an effective sensitive area of the faceplate. In the photomultiplier tube, a side face (3c) of the faceplate (3) protrudes outward from an outer side wall (2b) of a metal side tube (2), so that a light receiving area for receiving light passing through a light receiving face (3d) of the faceplate (3) is increased. The overhanging structure of the faceplate (3) is conceived based on a glass refractive index. The overhanging structure is aimed to receive light as much as possible which has not been received before. When the metal side tube (2) is fused to the glass faceplate (3), a fusing method is adopted due to joint between glass and metal. Joint operation between the faceplate (3) and the side tube (2) is reliably ensured. Accordingly, the overhanging structure of the faceplate (3) is effective.

Abstract: A metal side tube (2), a glass faceplate (3), and a stem plate (4) constitute a hermetically sealed vessel (5) for a photomultiplier tube. An edge portion (20) is provided at on open end (A) of the side tube (2). The edge portion (2) is embedded in the faceplate (3) in such a manner as to strike on the faceplate (3). Accordingly, high hermeticity at a joint between the side tube (2) and the faceplate (3) is ensured. The edge portion (20) extends upright in an axial direction of the side tube (2), so that the edge portion (20) can be embedded as close to a side face (3c) of the faceplate (3) as possible. This structure increases an effective sensitive area of the faceplate (3) to nearly 100%, and decreases dead area as close to 0 as possible. As described above, the photomultiplier tube (1) according to the present invention has enlarged effective sensitive area of the side tube (3) and enhanced hermeticity of the joint between the faceplate (3) and the side tube (2).

Abstract: Photomultiplier tubes with improved collection of incident radiation, especially from the periphery of the front face of the tube, and that more efficiently couple the collected radiation to the photocathode, and moreover have higher packing densities when assembled into arrays, resulting in enhanced imaging characteristics. The improvements in radiation collection and photomultiplier tube packing density are gained by a combination of several features including: tapering the edges of the faceplate so that the faceplate subtends an area as large or larger than any other cross-sectional area of the photomultiplier tube; forming the junction between the faceplate and metal tube on the underside of the faceplate, and in such a manner as to avoid obscuring the optical path between the incident radiation and photocathode; and utilizing the tapered edge of the faceplate as a reflector to couple radiation incident on the periphery of the faceplate to the photocathode.
