Description
BGO/BaF2 crystals have been widely employed as scintillation detectors for radioactive sources and charged particles. Photomultiplier Tubes (PMT) are conventionally used on the detector with these scintillators. For these applications, the PMT with rectangular and dual photocathode (to be coupled with BGO crystal) was developed in order to reduce the dead space among PMTs in assembling them together as a ring camera. Furthermore, a PMT of 3/8'' in diameter with a fused silica window was developed for BaF2 scintillator, so that it has the high spatial resolution as well as an excellent time resolving capability. This PMT exhibits the coincidence resolving time of 390 psec with positron emitter of Na-22 and BaF2 crystals. In this paper, the authors report the basic design, construction and characteristics of these latest developed PMTs
