Smirnov Instruments and Experimental Techniques Vol.46 No.2, 327–344 (2003) doi:10.1023/A:1024458203966  [local copy] Abstract The energy and spatial resolution of a large-volume liquid-scintillator detector has been investigated. The relations have

Methods for precise photoelectron counting with photomultipliers

Measurements has been performed on a THORN EMI 9351 phototube in order to investigate its response to a low light intensity. Precise procedures to determine the intensity of the incident photon flux have been developed and compared. The data show that the various approaches give consistent and reliable results, thus allowing the precise calibration of the device for applications of photon counting.
