Abstract: A photomultiplier tube comprises an evacuated envelope including a faceplate and a sidewall. A conductive coating is disposed annularly around an interior portion of the sidewall adjacent to the faceplate and on a longitudinally extending portion of the sidewall as a strip. A photoemissive cathode is disposed on an interior surface of the faceplate and on the conductive coating adjacent thereto. A shield cup is spaced from the cathode and centered within the envelope by a plurality of bulb spacers. An electron multiplier cage assembly abuts the shield cup and is attached thereto. A cathode contact assembly is in contact with the strip on the sidewall. A plurality of locating slots are formed in the base of the shield cup to orient the bulb spacers in contact with the sidewall of the envelope and spaced from the longitudinally extending strip portion of the conductive coating thereon. The bulb spacers include stop shoulders which retain the bulb spacers within the locating slots. The cathode contact assembly includes a cathode contact support member and a resilient cathode contact member. The cathode contact support member includes an electrical contact tab struck from the body thereof and a cathode support tab which includes an extruded area to circumferentially locate the resilient cathode contact member between two consecutively spaced bulb spacers and to align the resilient cathode contact member with the longitudinally extending strip portion of the conductive coating on the sidewall of the envelope.

Abstract: A photomultiplier tube comprises an evacuated envelope having a photoemissive cathode, a shield cup spaced from the cathode and an electron multiplier cage assembly abutting the shield cup. The cage assembly includes a pair of transversely spaced support plates having a plurality of support slots formed therethrough. Each of the support plates has a distal end and a proximal end, with the proximal ends being attached to the shield cup. A light shield is disposed between the distal end of the support plates. An anode and a plurality of dynodes, at least one of which has a field mesh attached thereto, are disposed between the support plates and attached thereto by end tabs. The end tabs extend from the side of the anode and the dynodes. The aforementioned shield cup includes flaps which establish a minimum transverse spacing between the proximal ends of the support plates. The light shield has a transverse dimension substantially equal to that of the flaps to establish a minimum transverse spacing between the distal end of the support plates. The flaps and the light shield thus act, in combination, to provide a uniform minimum transverse spacing between the support plates which is greater than the transverse dimension of the anode and the dynodes to prevent distortion of the field mesh. The tab ends of the dynode and the anode are bifurcated so that one portion of selected ones of the tab ends can be formed to secure the dynodes and the anode between the support plates.

Abstract: An electron multiplier used together with additional elements to form a simple spectrometer for mass distribution studies. The multiplier is used to multiply a few electrons to provide an electron cascade at the multiplier output end which provides a trigger pulse, serving as a time reference and to ionize molecules at the output end. The multiplier serves as a path for positive ions which accelerate towards the multiplier''s input end, whereat they collide with a surface to produce secondary electrons, which are then multiplied by the multiplier as they accelerate to the output end to provide output pulses, whose time displacements from the trigger are indicative of the mass to charge ratio of the created ions.

Abstract: In-situ methods for the batch fabrication of flat-panel micro-channel plate (MCP) photomultiplier tube (PMT) detectors (MCP-PMTs), without transporting either the window or the detector assembly inside a vacuum vessel are provided. The method allows for the synthesis of a reflection-mode photocathode on the entrance to the pores of a first MCP or the synthesis of a transmission-mode photocathode on the vacuum side of a photodetector entrance window.

Abstract: A photomultiplier eliminates the reflection of light off of focusing pieces in a focusing electrode and prevents the photocathode from emitting useless electrons in response to such reflected light by including an oxide film formed over the surface of each focusing piece. The oxide film is also formed on the surface of secondary electron emission pieces in the first and second stage dynodes to eliminate the reflection of light off of the secondary electron emission pieces and to prevent the photocathode from emitting useless electrons in response to such reflected light. Further, a light-absorbing glass partitioning part is provided in a light-receiving faceplate to suppress crosstalk between channels.
