Abstract

Results of tests of different position-sensitive photon detectors for the HERA-B RICH are given. It is observed, that the CsI-MWPC cannot be routinely produced and maintained with sufficiently high quantum efficiency and that the TMAE detector loses anode wire gain too quickly. The third candidate, the H-6568 Hamamatsu multianode PMT, seems to meet all the requirements necessary for photon detection in the HERA-B RICH.
