Performance of Multi-anode Photomultiplier Tubes for the LHCb RICH detectors

Abstract An array of Multi-anode Photomultiplier Tubes (MaPMT) was evaluated for use in the LHCb Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors using a prototype RICH detector in a charged particle beam. The MaPMT performance was measured with different radiator gases with and without lenses. The performance of the MaPMTs in terms of photon yield and pixel cross-talk is presented.
