EnglishIn this paper the response in term of pulse height linearity of two Hamamatsu photomultipliers is investigated, when coupled to a LaBr3:Ce scintillation crystal. The two photodetectors have high quantum efficiency and in particular 30% for R6231-01 and 42% for R7600-200 tube. The substantial difference is in the dynode structure, linear focused and metal channel for R6231 and R7600 respectively. In this work in order to verify the non-linearity effects on the pulse height distribution, due principally to the high and fast light production of LaBr3:Ce scintillator, we propose a ‘peak by peak’ procedure to calibrate the pulse height distribution. Utilizing a specific fragmentation of the calibration curve in subsets, the calculated energy values are very similar for both PMTs. This result confirmed the potentiality of the procedure to highlight the non-linearity effects on pulse height distribution.

| Abstract: | In this paper the response in term of pulse height linearity of two Hamamatsu photomultipliers is investigated, when coupled to a LaBr3:Ce scintillation crystal. The two photodetectors have high quantum efficiency and in particular 30% for R6231-01 and 42% for R7600-200 tube. The substantial difference is in the dynode structure, linear focused and metal channel for R6231 and R7600 respectively. In this work in order to verify the non-linearity effects on the pulse height distribution, due principally to the high and fast light production of LaBr3:Ce scintillator, we propose a ‘peak by peak’ procedure to calibrate the pulse height distribution. Utilizing a specific fragmentation of the calibration curve in subsets, the calculated energy values are very similar for both PMTs. This result confirmed the potentiality of the procedure to highlight the non-linearity effects on pulse height distribution. | |
