Abstract
Abstract We have developed a multiple-anode square-shape MCP-PMT for the Belle-II Time-Of-Propagation (TOP) counter. This detector is a hybrid cherenkov ring imaging and timing detector for particle identification in the barrel region of the upgraded detector. The Belle-II experiment will operate at high event rates and needs to withstand the correspondingly high background environment. MCP-PMT's have demonstrated excellent single photon timing resolution. However, the lifetime of photocathode is a known issue. Recently, we successfully improved the lifetime of a square-shape MCP-PMT by a factor of about 10, which is adequate for estimates of the nominal Belle-II background rates in the TOP counter. We have also developed a new MCP-PMT with Hamamatsu photonics, that adopts a super bialkali photocathode. Currently a peak quantum effciency of 28% for 400 nm photons has been achieved.
