Abstract
The structures and characteristics of the new line of photomuliptliers made by CBS Laboratories will be described. Some recent results on the investigation of pulse-height shift are also presented. The development of photomultiplier tubes for the detection of low-level radioactivity is discussed. This involves using tube materials with a minimum of radioactive contamination for such applications as whole-body counting. For low-energy nuclear radiation detection (e.g., detection of tritium) a tube has been developed which eliminates thermionic emission from the unused portions of the cathode which have been deposited on the sidewalls of the tube.Keywords
