R5900 16-Channel PMTs
We have chosen to use
Hamamatsu
R5900 16-Channel photomultiplier
tubes based on their excellent performance characteristics. In excess of
five-hundred tubes will have to be tested before being shipped to the CDF
experiment at Fermilab, and we have a number of
requirements that each tube must meet.
The original specifications can be read in
this document and were modified in
this document.
