Description

Special photomultipliers with bi-alkali SbKCs photocathode and 13-stage amplifier system were developed for the detection of tritium using liquid scintillators and coincidence photomultiplier systems. The assessment of photocathode quality is completed with the measurement of the photocathode blue sensitivity. Such photomultipliers in which at a temperature of 8 degC and a gain of about 107 the product of 1eZ pulse rates does not exceed a value of 1x107 are considered to be a suitable pair of photomultipliers for tritium measurement.
