Abstract

The use of a microchannel plate photomultiplier (MCPM) in a subnanosecond lifetime spectrometer is proposed. The MCPM has very low time jitter and transit time. Disadvantages are the low maximum count rate and the relative low maximum gain (106). Preliminary results with a hybrid configuration(a MCPM HR 400 LEP-France in the start chain and a normal PM 8575 RCA in the stop chain) are given.
