Catalog: Photomultiplier Tube Series

This catalog provides a quick reference for Hamamatsu photomultiplier tubes, especially designed or selected for scintillation counters and Cherenkov radiation detectors, and includes most fo the types currently available ranging in size from 3/8" through 20" in diameter.

In radiation measurements, scintilation counters which are combinations of scintillators and photomultiplier tubes are used as most commong and useful devices in X-, alpha-, beta-, gamma-rays and other high energy charged particles. A scintillator emits flashes of light in response to input radiations and a photomultiplier tube coupled to a scintillator detects these scintillation lights in a precise way.
