Abstract: An internal portion of a photomultiplier tube (PMT) having a reflective photocathode array, and a method for manufacturing the same, are provided. The internal portion of the PMT comprises the reflective photocathode array and at least one dynode structure corresponding to the array of reflective photocathodes. Each reflective photocathode receives light and from the light, generates photoelectrons which then travel towards the at least one dynode structure. Upon the photoelectrons making contact with the at least one dynode structure, the photoelectrons are multiplied.

Abstract: The invention provides a switchable photomultiplier switchable between a detecting state and a non-detecting state including a cathode upon which incident radiation is arranged to impinge. The photomultiplier also includes a series of dynodes arranged to amplify a current created at the cathode upon detection of photoradiation. The invention also provides a detection system arranged to detect radiation-emitting material in an object. The system includes a detector switchable between a detecting state in which the detector is arranged to detect radiation and a non-detecting state in which the detector is arranged to not detect radiation. The system further includes a controller arranged to control switching of the detector between the states such that the detector is switched to the non-detecting state while an external radiation source is irradiating the object.

Abstract: A transmission type photocathode of the present invention comprises a light absorption layer 1 formed of diamond or a material containing diamond as a main component, a supporting frame 21 for reinforcing the mechanical strength of the light absorption layer 1, a first electrode 31 provided at the plane of incidence of the light absorption layer 1, and a second electrode 32 provided at the plane of emission of the light absorption layer 1. A voltage is applied between the plane of incidence and plane of emission of the light absorption layer 1 to form an electric field in the light absorption layer 1. When light to be detected is made incident and photoelectrons occur in the light absorption layer 1, the photoelectrons are accelerated to the plane of emission by the electric field formed in the light absorption layer 1, and emitted to the outside of the transmission type photocathode.

Abstract: A photomultiplier uses an avalanche photodiode as a position-sensitive anode. The envelope of the photomultiplier has a flat input end. Electrically conductive regions mounted to the input end are configured to produce at the input end a potential distribution characteristic of a photomultiplier with a spherical-type input end as measured in a transverse plane immediately adjacent the spherical-type input end. A photocathode is located inside the photomultiplier and is electrically connected to the electrically conductivew regions. Advantageously, the envelope has flat sides and a square cross-section; in this instance, conductors are run along the sides to produce within the envelope a potential distribution characteristic of a photomultiplier which is cylindrical in cross-section, as measured at flat surfaces having the same shape as the envelope.

Abstract: A photomultiplier gain stabilization system maintains the mean output current of a photomultiplier at a constant level by compensating its variations through a modification of the illumination of its photocathode. The photocathode is coupled to a photoemissive diode, supplied with a current representative of the difference between the value of the mean current of the photomultiplier anode and a reference current value equal to at least the maximum value of the anode current.
