Description

The authors discuss the idea of a vacuum or gaseous photomultiplier with a CsI-coated wire photocathode. It benefits from an electric field enhanced quantum efficiency. They present a method for protecting air-sensitive photocathodes with thin dielectric film coating. Results of CsI coated with thin LiF and MgF2 films are shown. The protection of other UV and visible photocathodes is discussed
