Abstract

A new concept of large area photomultiplier based on MCPs was conceived for JUNO by the scientists in IHEP, Beijing. In the past 5 years by collaborative work of the MCP-PMT collaboration in China, 8 inch and 20 inch prototypes were produced. Test results show that this type of MCP-PMT can have similar photon counting performance as the traditional dynode type PMTs. With the better collection efficiency, low after pulse rate, low Low-Potassium Glass, the JUNO ordered 75% about 15,000 20 inch MCP-PMT from NNVT at the end of 2015. This manuscript just give the overview this type of MCP-PMT, the R&D process and the main characteristics.
