Abstract
Section I describes steps taken to optimize the pulse shape and dynamic range from a 56 AVP photomultiplier. Section II discusses a model for the response of a photomultiplier. The parameters used in this model are obtained from direct measurements on a 56 AVP photomultiplier. Monte Carlo methods, as well as analytic techniques, are used to predict quantities such as distribution of triggering times, pulse shapes, etc. It is found, for example, that in the resolution of small time differences the predictions using the Monte Carlo method and the analytic treatment are in good agreement. The time resolution as predicted by the model is compared to experiment.
