Abstract
We invented (2007) the VSiPMT, a novel, high-gain, photodetector device and we publically proposed this idea in an InternationalConference for the first time at the 11th Topical Seminar on InnovativeParticle and Radiation Detectors (IPRD08) in Siena, triggering deepdiscussions on the feasibility of the device itself and on the convenienceof such a solution. After several years spent in designing, evaluation,tests and eventually negotiations with some suppliers, we finally got acouple of prototypes of the Vacuum Silicon Photo Multiplier Tube (VSiPMT)made under our specifications by Hamamatsu. We present in this paper themost important results of characterization tests of the first prototypes ofthe VSiPMT.
