Abstract

Hamamatsu R11410-20 PMTs are used in the RED-100 two-phase xenon emission detector built to search for the rare process of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering using intense artificial neutrino flux. We demonstrate how to adapt the PMTs for their operation under strong illumination caused by electroluminescent signals from gamma and cosmogenic muon backgrounds which are significant at shallow depth experimental sites. The PMT linearity is demonstrated for signals in the dynamic range from 1 to 2*104 photoelectrons. Impact of a photoelectric effect at the PMT first dynode to the capabilities of the RED-100 photodetection system is studied and quantified.
