Abstract
The inter-relationship between dark current, dark count rate and photomultiplier gain is explained, using the results obtained from measurements on a relatively large sample of photomultipliers. The absolute manner in which the known sources of background contribute to the dark count and dark current parameters is examined. Practical recommendations, based on tube measurements, are given which help provide optimum performance for DC detection and photon-counting applications.
