photomultiplier tube, polarization network, photon countingAbstract
An analysis of the factors involved in the signal formation of the photomultiplier tubes is performed. These devices are extremely sensitive light detectors, widely used in photon counting applications. The study and design of the polarization network of photomultiplier tubes is discussed, laying the groundwork for performance testing. Through a detailed analysis of the operation of the photomultiplier tubes and their polarization electronics, it is expected that the user can separate the response of the polarization circuit from the information carried by the output pulses.Downloads
