Abstract :
Imaging Hybrid Photon Detectors (HPD) have been developed for integration in large area Cherenkov detectors for high-energy physics and astrophysics. The presented designs – developed particularly for the experiments MAGIC, LHCb and AQUA-RICH – comprise very good imaging properties, protection against positive ion feedback and(or) minimum dead area. The underlying innovations are discussed in some detail.
