A method to measure transit time spread of photomultiplier tubes with Cherenkov light

With the technology of coincidence method, transit time spreads (TTSs) of PMTs are measured with Cherenkov light on the photocathode window of photomultiplier tube (PMT) produced by cascade γ radiation source, 60Co. TTSs with single and multi-photoelectron which are analyzed by convolution of Poisson and Gaussian are obtained. The study to XP2020 and XP2020Q PMTs shows that TTSs are consistent with data supplied by Philips. TTSs are inversely proportional to the square roots of number of photoelectrons. The method is feasible when single and multi-photoelectron can be distinguished.

用于校准光电倍增管灵敏度的高稳定参考光源

热释光剂量测量方法已经广泛用于辐射监测和防护的各个方面,成为个人和环境辐射剂量测量的一种重要手段。 热释光剂量仪测光系统中的光探测器是光电倍增管,其增益的影响因素很多,如高压、环境温度等,因此为了得到可靠的数据,提高测量准确度,仪器中通常装有校准光源,监测热释光灵敏度的变化。我们认为,理想的标准光源应该满足以下要求:1)亮度合适且光源长期稳定,2)光强温度系数小,3)对光电倍增管和工作人员来说是安全的,4)发射光谱与热释光探测器的光谱接近。
