It’s necessary to have a similar sizeof PMT with conventional structurefor less cost and mass-production.=> 12-inch PMT was developed !!

QE has to be improved further. R7081-HQE select : QE = 32 % min. at 380nm R11780-HQE Trials: QE = 30.7 % ave. at 380nm

After Pulse is larger than our expectation. R11780 standard : 10% (0.1~16u sec) R11780-HQE Trials : 15% (0.1~16u sec) R7081: 2% (0.1~16u sec) Those characteristics can be improvedwith suitable production conditioning,especially in the activation process.
