Abstract
The Hybrid PhotoDiode (HPD) tube is a new kind of photodetector compos ed of a vacuum photodiode in which the photocathode is coupled to a PI N diode. It presents peculiarities and performances radically differen t from those of most existing photon detectors. Because of these chara cteristics the HPD is generating vast interest in the scientific commu nity and may be useful in a variety of demanding environments.
