Simulation Analysis of Excess Noise Factors for Photomultiplier Tube

Abstract:

Noise is one of the most significant indicators to measure the performance of the PMT, which is regarded as a photoelectric detector. Moreover, the excess noise factor F is an important parameter to describe the noise. Excess noise factor expressions for PMT in different situations are derived and analyzed by simulation in this paper. Some numerical simulations are made to obtain the maximum and minimum excess noise factor F and the changing trend of F with each parameter. From the analysis, we can minimize the noise for PMT to increase the detection precision as a photoelectric detector.
