Abstract
The performance of 16 and 64 channel photomultipliers coupled to scint illating fibers has been tested. The devices are sensitive to single p hotoelectrons, show little gain losses for magnetic fields up to 100G and have moderate optical cross-talk. The maximum channel-to-channel g ain variations reach a factor two for the 16 channel version and a fac tor of four for the 64 channel PM. The measurements and simulations in dicate that the photomultipliers are well suited for the light detecti on in fiber trackers. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserv ed.
