Abstract
We measured the number of photoelectrons released from the photocathod e of a newly available hybrid photomultiplier tube (HPMT) by photons f rom scintillating fibres. About 1600 individual 60 mum diameter fibres are contained in fused square bundles of 2.5 mm edges. The number of photoelectrons per mm fibre path changes from 10.6 at zero to 1 at 2 m bundle length. The potential difference between the HPMT photocathode and its electron detecting silicon diode amounted to 13 kV.
