A high-speed high-responsive PMT-based detector

摘要

A coupled pair of high-speed photomultiplier tube (PMT) based detector in series with the ultra-broadband amplifier has been presented here. This combined device is intended for accurate measurements of high-speed low-luminous processes in various fields of investigations. Their practical applications and parameters have been illustrated in many details. Successful application of the device to studying the short gap streamer corona discharge in very fast transient stage of primary streamer propagation has been illustrated. The device is able to be a very competitive product as compared to new generation of the PMT-based detectors produced by the Hamamatsu Company who is the world leader in this field.
