Abstract
A facility to test the photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) for the Sudbury Ne utrino Observatory (SNO) was constructed at Queen's University. The fa cility measured the noise rate, relative efficiency, and charge and ti me spectra of single photoelectron anode signals for 44 PMTs daily. Th e system is described, and detailed results of the testing for two par ticular PMTs are presented as well as statistics for 9829 Hamamatsu R1 408 PMTs accepted for use in SNO.
