Abstract :
We report the results of tests of prototype proximity mesh dynode photomultiplier tubes (FEU-527) manufactured by MELS. These tubes were compared with similar Hamamatsu models R5505/R3432-01 to determine their suitability for use in the Time-of-Flight (TOF) subsystem of the Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC (STAR) project. Gain and timing characteristics of these tubes were measured both with and without a magnetic field. The results show that some of the Russian prototype tubes meet the requirements for the STAR TOF subsystem.
