A new type of light detector, the Proximity Focused Hybrid Photodiode
Detector, has been constructed and its properties have been studied. T
he main features of the new device are a gain of up to a few thousand
varying linearly with the applied high voltage, a large dynamic range,
a low sensitivity to magnetic field, a power consumption close to zer
o and a multipixel capability.
