Abstract

PMT performances significantly change under the influence of magnetic field. Even the relatively weak geomagnetic field, which typically value is about 0.5 gauss, has an appreciable effect. Gain variations of PMT with 76 mm photocathode diameter may reach 10-20% depending on spatial orientation. Therefore, it is necessary to apply magnetic shields for PMT response stability enhancement. The performances investigation of magnetic shields made of steel, permalloy and amorphous metallic alloy ribbon for PMT with 51 and 76 mm photocathode diameters was carried out. Based on obtained data the choice of magnetic shield was made.
