Description

We have been developing 50-cm diameter Box&line PMTs and Hybrid Photo-Detectors (HPDs) for Hyper-Kamiokande. Both have excellent performance compared with Super-Kamiokande PMT. We present the principle and basic performance (typical waveforms, timing response, dark count rate, linearity and response uniformity) and the result of the pre-calibration for a test in a 200-ton water Cherenkov detector (EGADS tank).
