Abstract
Hybrid vacuum photon detectors developed for large-scale astroparticle physics experiments are reviewed. Hybrid photon detectors with luminescent screens have played a particularly important part in Cherenkov arrays used in the NT-200 deep-water neutrino telescope and the Tunka cosmic-ray experiment. This paper is devoted to the 40th anniversary since the beginning of the development of the QUASAR-370 hybrid photon detector lying at the heart of the NT-200 and Tunka experiments. Now hybrid vacuum photon detectors with microchannel plates (MCP-PMTs) are actively used in the JUNO neutrino experiment. The status of and trends in development of hybrid photon detectors and prospects for their use in next-generation experiments are discussed.
期刊介绍:
The journal Fizika Elementarnykh Chastits i Atomnogo Yadr of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna) was founded by Academician N.N. Bogolyubov in August 1969. The Editors-in-chief of the journal were Academician N.N. Bogolyubov (1970–1992) and Academician A.M. Baldin (1992–2001). Its English translation, Physics of Particles and Nuclei, appears simultaneously with the original Russian-language edition. Published by leading physicists from the JINR member states, as well as by scientists from other countries, review articles in this journal examine problems of elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, experimental data processing, accelerators and related instrumentation ecology and radiology.
