“…These carefully crafted planes of small pores, which form the amplification sections of the complete MCP-PMT device, have been thoroughly characterized [18][19][20][21], and sophisticated simulation programs and an extensive literature exist to predict performance [21][22][23] Micro-channel plate photomultipliers combine the virtues of photo-multipliers with a relatively simple planar package construction that lends itself to scaling to large-area detectors. In addition, MCP-PMT's employ a local amplification construction with very small path-lengths for the photon conversion and electron multiplication, resulting in exceptionally fast rise times [24].…”

Abstract-We present a preliminary design and the results of simulation for a photo-detector module to be used in applications requiring the coverage of areas of many square meters with time resolutions less than 10 picoseconds and position resolutions of less than a millimeter for charged particles. The source of light is Cherenkov light in a radiator/window; the amplification is provided by panels of micro-pores functionalized to act as microchannel plates (MCPs). The good time and position resolution stems from the use of an array of parallel 50 Ω transmission lines (strips) as the collecting anodes. The anode strips feed multi-GS/sec sampling chips which Manuscript
