Abstract
In this paper we present the results of tests of photomultiplier tubes with microchannel plates (MCP-PMT), which were manufactured at INP as prototypes for future use in particle detectors. The MCP-PMTs have sm aller height/diameter ratio in comparison with ordinary PMTs, a gain o f 10(4)-10(7) and can operate in a magnetic field. Considerable degrad ation of the tubes occurs at about 0.01 C/cm(2) of collected anode cha rge. The PMT-MCPs show a clear single-electron peak. They were tested in setups with a quartz Cherenkov radiator and a NaI(Tl) scintillation crystal.
