Detector description SNO detector installed underground, before cabling the photomultiplier tubes.

Electron multipliers A photomultiplier is a phototube whose sensitivity is greatly increased through the use of electron multiplication.

Federal Standard 1037C Photomultiplier tubes were popularized during World War II since they could be used to as high bandwidth (up to several hundred MHz) noise sources.

In recent years, the electronic circuits built around the photomultiplier tube have replaced the camera, allowing real-time spectrographic analysis with far greater accuracy.

Super Kamiokande is a large volume of water surrounded by photomultiplier tubes that watch for the Cherenkov radiation emitted when an incoming neutrino creates an electron or muon in the water.

The classic photomultiplier tube exploits the photoelectric effect : a photon of sufficient energy strikes a metal plate and knocks free an electron, initiating an ever-amplifying avalanche of electrons.

The fluorescence signal is captured by a photomultiplier a known distance downstream of the de Laval nozzle.

The heavy water was viewed by approximately 9,600 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) mounted on a geodesic sphere at a radius of about convert.

The scanner had a single photomultiplier detector, and operated on the Translate/Rotate principle.

This light then passed through an exit slit into photomultiplier tubes that produced pulses or "sprays" of electrons.

This machine had 30 photomultiplier tubes as detectors and completed a scan in only nine translate/rotate cycles, much faster than the EMI-Scanner.
