Abstract

A photomultiplier tube based on Avalanche Photodiodes (APD) operating in the electron bombardment mode has been developed. The tube has a large linear dynamic range, moderate gain (5 x 10⁵), resistance to magnetic fields, and can be made with NEA photocathodes. This device will be useful for calorimetry at the SSC where large dynamic ranges are required and other applications where high quantum efficiency photocathodes are needed. The extension of this concept to a multichannel device with a segmented APD array will provide a cost effective fiber readout for both tracking and calorimetry applications. A tube equipped with such an array is being developed currently as a readout option for the SDC Shower Maximum Detector.
