Abstract :
Properties of four types of microchannel plate photomultipliers have been studied, with emphasis on applications to plasma diagnostic experiments. Detector pulse shapes, peak linear currents, pulse rate effects, and ionic feedback effects have been documented. Minimum FWHM of 210 ps was observed. Peak linear currents up to 11 A were documented.
