Abstract

A new multianode photomultiplier tube, type H6568 manufactured by Hamamatsu company, has been tested in view of using it for measuring Cherenkov rings in the HERA-B experiment. The results of measurements of single-photoelectron pulse-height distributions, uniformity of response, cross-talk, photon detection efficiency, rate dependence of the gain and ageing will be presented and discussed. In addition, the response of the PMT to scintillations of perfluorobutane (C4F10), argon and air has been measured.
