High-gain DC-mode operated Gaseous Photomultipliers for the visible spectral range
نویسنده
چکیده
We shortly describe recent progress in photon detectors combining bi-alkali photocathodes and cascaded patterned gas-avalanche electron multipliers. It permitted the development and the first feasibility demonstration of high-gain gaseous photomultipliers sensitive in the visible spectral range, operated in DC mode with single-photon sensitivity.

Efficient ion blocking in gaseous detectors and its application to gas-avalanche photomultipliers sensitive in the visible-light range
A novel concept for ion blocking in gas-avalanche detectors was developed, comprising cascaded micro-hole electron multipliers with patterned electrodes for ion defocusing. This leads to ion blocking at the 10 level, in DC mode, in operation conditions adequate for TPCs and for gaseous photomultipliers. The concept was validated in a cascaded visible-sensitive gas avalanche photomultiplier oper...
متن کاملRecent advances in gaseous imaging photomultipliers
We summarize our recent advances in gaseous photomultipliers (GPMTs) for the UV and visible spectral range. They combine photocathodes and advanced multi-stage Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs). Principles of operation and properties are discussed, with emphasis on time and localization resolutions, ion-feedback suppression, novel electron multipliers and sealed photon detectors for visible light...
متن کاملAnalysis of New Transformerless dc-dc Converter With High Voltage Gain
In some industries applications such as fuel cells, we must use a high voltage gain dc-dc converters for increasing voltage, but, the conventional converters cannot provide the high voltage gain with increasing duty cycle and the converters efficiency is limited by the equivalent series resistances. For this reason, in this paper, a single switch transformerless high step-up dc-dc converter wit...

In this paper, a new non-isolated transformerless high step up Dc-Dc converter with low voltage stress on the active switch for solar energy application is proposed. The converter topology is simple, which makes the control scheme simple. In this converter, only one active switch is used which makes reducing the switching power loss. The voltage gain of the proposed converter is higher than the...
متن کاملCoated photocathodes for visible photon imaging with gaseous photomultipliers
We report on our latest results of K}Cs}Sb visible photocathodes, coated with thin CsI and CsBr protective "lms, for applications within gas avalanche photomultipliers. Data on the sensitivity to exposure to oxygen and moisture is presented, as well as on the stability under gas multiplication and aging under gas avalanche. There are good indications that the protected photocathodes can withsta...
