Abstract
New methods which reduce the unfavorable energy spread of output electrons from a single channel electron multiplier are presented. A modified output electrode produces a pronounced narrowing effect on the energy distribution without much affect on the gain. A simplified analysis of the field inside the channel shows that the fixed channel wall potential near the output end is responsible for the narrow energy distributions obtainable.Keywords
