Description
The development of scintillation detectors to be used in a high magnetic field
environment requires novel photodetectors to substitute photomultiplier tubes
(PMTs). Avalanche microchannel photodiodes (AMPDs) are competitive to
PMTs in terms of gain and photon detection efficiency and insensitive to
magnetic fields. In this work we use AMPD arrays to build fast timing and
large area detectors with promising characteristics.
