Abstract
The use of wide aperture channel electron multipliers for the detection of ultraviolet radiation is described and the performance of similar Mullard and Bendix tubes compared. In particular, it is shown how the efficiency of these detectors can be improved by biasing a grid placed close to the entrance cone, but this improvement is achieved only at the expense of timing resolution. These characteristics are interpreted in terms of ejection of secondary electrons near the cone periphery.
