摘要： A photomultiplier tube enhanced in simplicity and flexibility of mounting, a photomultiplier tube unit enhanced in photomultiplier tube assembling efficiency when unitized, and a radiation detector enhanced in assembling efficiency for a plurality of photomultiplier tubes. The photomultiplier tube (1) has a hermetically sealed vessel (5) easily screw-fixed in a predetermined position due to screwing means (30) provided in the stem plate (4). As a result, the photomultiplier tube (1) can be very easily attached or detached so that even an unskilled person can mount the photomultiplier tube (1) easily and accurately in a predetermined position by screwing.

摘要： To reduce the size of a photomultiplier tube (1), a side tube (2) is fixedly secured by welding to a stem plate (4) while an inner surface (2c) of the lower portion (2a) of the side tube (2) is maintained to be in contact with an outer edge (4b) of the stem plate (4). As a result, there is no projection like a flange at the lower portion of the photomultiplier tube (1). Therefore, though it is difficult to perform resistance welding, the outside dimensions of the photomultiplier tube (1) can be decreased, and the side tubes (9) can densely abut to one another even if the photomultiplier tubes (2) are arranged when applied. Hence, high-density arrangement of photomultiplier tubes (1) are realized by assembling metallic stem plate (4) and the side tube (2) by, for example, laser welding.

摘要翻译： 为了减小光电倍增管（1）的尺寸，侧管（2）通过焊接牢固地固定在杆板（4）上，而侧管（2）的下部（2a）的内表面（2c） ）保持与杆板（4）的外边缘（4b）接触。 结果，在光电倍增管（1）的下部没有像凸缘那样的凸起。 因此，虽然难以进行电阻焊接，但是即使在施加光电倍增管（2）时，也可以减小光电倍增管（1）的外部尺寸，并且侧管（9）可以彼此紧密地邻接 。 因此，光电倍增管（1）的高密度配置通过例如激光焊接组装金属杆板（4）和侧管（2）来实现。

摘要： To prevent the deterioration in sensitivity of the photocathode (20) of an electron tube and maintain stable output for a long time, an ion confining electrode (22) and an ion trap electrode (23) are provided between the photocathode (20) and a first stage dynode (24a). The potential of the ion confining electrode (22) is set higher than that of the first stage dynode (24a), while the potential of the ion trap electrode (23) is set equal to or higher than that of the photocathode (20) and lower than that of the first stage dynode 24a. Since the feedback to the photocathode (20) of the positive ions generated in the vicinity of the first stage dynode can be effectively suppressed, the sensitivity of the photocathode (20) is prevented from decreasing, and stable output is maintained for a long time.

摘要： The present invention relates to a photomultiplier that realizes a significant improvement of response time characteristics by a structure enabling mass production. The photomultiplier comprises a sealed container, and, in the sealed container, a photocathode, an electron multiplier section, and an anode are respectively disposed. The electron multiplier section includes multiple stages of dynode units, and each of the multiple stages of dynode units is fixed with one end of the associated dynode pin while being electrically connected thereto. In particular, the dynode pin, whose one ends are fixed to the multiple stages of dynode units, are held within an effective region of the electron multiplier section contributing to secondary electron multiplication, when the electron multiplier section is viewed from the photocathode side. By this configuration, a focusing distance from the photocathode to a first stage dynode unit can be shortened effectively and the effective region of the electron multiplier section can be enlarged to effectively reduce variations in transit time of photoelectrons propagating from the photocathode to the first stage dynode unit.
