Tasks of the PMT Test System:
HF PMT Quality Control and Test System will address the following items:
• label and catalogue each PMT at delivery and storage;
• mechanical assembly with HV power supply and base;
• installation in Test Boxes : individually or in groups;
Procedures for measurementsThe following sequence of measurements will be performed for each PMT or each PMT batch:
1 - PMT's installed in Test-Box are let to stabilize at standard HV; [each tube] 2 - Check of normal operating conditions [each tube] 3 - Noise and dark current measurements vs. HV; [each tube] 4 - Gain vs. HV [laser]; [each tube] 5 - Single photoelectron level; [each tube] 6 - Linearity for 1- 3000 p.e.; [each tube] 7 - Rate dependence for 0.1 - 40 MHz [LED]; [each tube] 8 - Photocathode uniformity; [for each batch] 9 - Quantum efficiency (300-600 nm) [dye laser]; [for each batch]10 - Pulse shape measurements at nominal HV. [for each batch]
According to specifications of the PMT (manufacturer's data sheet and preliminary measurements on a test sample) and requirements of HF application (Nphe/GeV, dynamic range, etc.) the test setup working conditions will be adjusted in a range of light yield and sensitivity appropriate for the standard test procedure. Three light sources will be used for the specific measurements: - laser - LED- Rad. sources + radiator
• Measurements will be performed at stable (controlled) temperature using defined procedures for each PMT or each PMT batch.
• Light sources will be installed (Tungsten Lamp, Laser, Dye Laser, Laser Diodes) for the specific measurements
• The data for each PMT will be stored in appropriate archive files on disk and copied to permanent storage media. For each PMT an entry will be printed and logged to a general PMT directory and test logbooks.
• The PMT's conforming to acceptance criteria, will be sorted in classes and stored. Those not conforming will be returned to the manufacturer.
• All measurement procedures will be automated and computer-controlled, to minimize individual biases and interventions; daily test shifts will be supervised by an expert, who will also review the archived data of the day and certify their validity.
• The fully automated PMT Test station will contain (x-y scanners, neutral density filter wheels [computer controlled], optical bench, DAQ [LabView] and interface systems.)
Quality Assurance• At the manufacturer• testing/preselection as they arrive• beam/calibration tests during the installation
period• PMT can be replaced
Tests required of the vendor on each tube
1. Measure and report the quantum efficiency of the tube at 420nm.
2. Determine the voltage at which a current gain of 5x104 is reached.
• Measure the dark current at a current gain of 5x104.
Additional testsThe vendor shall determine the pulse height resolution
at a gain of 5x104 using the following method or some other method agreed on between us and vendor.
The PMT pulse height resolution shall deviate less then 50% from the ideal resolution (defined as sigma/mean equal to 1/sqrt(t) where Npe is the average number of photoelectrons produced by the photocathode for a given light pulse intensity) at a current gain of 5x104. The vendor and University shall agree on an appropriate test to determine that this resolution specification is met.

HF Radiation Environment• Recent radiation background simulations
show improvement in the design of the shielding around the PMT region by a factor of ~two. There is no issue with the radiation dose or neutron flux where the PMTs are located.
• All neturons 2.54x1012
• Neutrons (E>100KeV) 1.63x1012
• Neutrons (E>20 MeV) 5.12x1011
• Ch. Hadrons 2.26x1010
• Muons 4.65x109
• Photons 1.53x1012
• Dose 7 krad
Other Issues
• Scintillation of the PMT window is only a concern if the dose rate is >0.03 rad/sec. For HF, the estimate is 0.00002 rad/sec (factor of 1000 less).
• Ambient He partial pressure in air (0.53 Pa) will not be a problem with borosilicate window. Partial pressure will change 10 times in 10 years but will remain below the danger level by a factor of ~50000.
• Nitrogen gas will be circulated inside the ROBox against He leak from cryogenics and temperature fluctuations (+/- 2 degrees should not be a problem).

Procurement/Testing Strategy
• Hamamatsu, for example, will deliver 200 PMTs/month. We need ~14.3 months.
• PMTs will be supplied with gain of 3x105 with gain measurements at 1300, 1500 and 1650 V by Hamamatsu.
• The cost estimate is 690 K$ based on 110 Yen/$.• Sole source or bidding? There are several PMTs that would do the job. • We should be able to test at the same rate as production, i.e. 10 PMTs/day,
on average.• The PMT responsibilities are with Iowa, ISU and Fairfield.

• These estimates are based on 0.25 pe/GeV and gain of 1x105 for one calendar year.• Assuming that the acceptable PMT criterion is 50% performance of its original, we would
replace 36 PMTs the second year (Ring 1 EM), 72 in the fourth year (Ring 2 EM and Ring 1 HAD), etc. It is probably a good idea to secure these PMTs ahead of time with the rest of the PMTs (Appox. 150).
• There does not seem to be a drastic problem with PMT aging based on what we know now. The gain loss may be recoverable by voltage increase.
