IceCube/ PMTs / PMTs Screening


PMT Pre-Shipping Calibration @ -32C (FY2003)



PMT Gain Table (html format). The LOW GAIN PMT candidates display in blinking. An empty entry is left when either the gain is too low to measure or high enough to saturate our CAMAC ADC. The both data with/without the PMT amp is shown for comparison. They have been confirmed to be consistent each other within our measurement error range except a couple of data points above 1900 V for high gain tubes where the PMT amp starts to see its saturation.
Data using PMT Amp (The Amp gain <8.9036> has been calibrated)
