Abstract
The present status of a position-sensitive photomultiplier is surveyed, with the aim of applying such a device to a high-rate apparatus in combination with optical scintillation fibres. A spatial resolution of ≈ 1.1 mm (fwhm), obtained with a single fibre of 1 mm diameter, would allow the setting up of a linear array, 180 mm wide, with a spatial resolution of ≈ 1 mm which can be read out by a single photomultiplier tube of this type. Also presented are the important improvements foreseen for the present tubes, based on the scaling property of the Lorentz equation describing the motion of electrons.
