Abstract
We report on results of tests of the 16-channel Hamamatsu R5900-M16 photomultiplier tube for gain uniformity and stability, pixel uniformity, linearity, cross-talk, and quantum efficiency. These parameters are essential to our application; i.e., the read out of signals which are generated by the passage of ionizing particles through the scintillating strips of an electromagnetic shower maximum detector and which are carried to the photodetector by optical fibers. In all respects the R5900-M16 tube performance is found to be superior to that of earlier generations of multianode photomultiplier tubes.
