Abstract
The HPD is a nonmultiplicative light detector with typical gain of 100 0 to 5000. Its development project, mainly supported by the CERN LAA p roject and by the INFN group V, was originally intended to find a repl acement for the photo multiplier (PM) tubes for scintillating fibre ca lorimeter readout. After five years of development the HPD has become a versatile light detector, commercially available for everyday use, t hat can outperform PM tubes in photon counting efficiency and resoluti on, multi tesla magnetic field operation, uniformity of response, fast pulse dynamic range, and gain stability. The HPD has also a wide edge on PMs on pixelization potential and it is getting more and more comp etitive on timing properties. A review of the HPD performances and its latest advances are reported.
