Computer Analysis of the Timing Properties in Micro Channel Plate Photomultiplier Tubes

Monte Carlo simulations of microchannel plate detectors. I. Steady-state voltage bias results

“…In previous Monte Carlo simulations, 15,16,17,18 the possibility of the incoming electrons' elastic reflection was neglected. In our simulations, we found elastic scattering to be an important effect, particularly for low-bias voltages.…”

Secondary Electron Emission of Pt: Experimental Study and Comparison With Models in the Multipactor Energy Range

“…Among others, we can mention multipactor effects in space-borne RF devices [1], [2], multipactor in RF-vacuum windows [3], [4], multiplication processes in photomultipliers and multichannel plates [5], electron microscopy techniques [6], [7], charging effects on spacecraft surfaces [8], [9] and dust grain charging in space plasmas [10]. A detailed description of electron emission under electron bombardment should cover the energy and angular dependence of the different contributions to the electron emission yield (secondaries, elastically and inelastically backscattered electrons) and their spectral and angular distributions.…”

Monte Carlo simulation for microchannel plate framing camera

“…4,5 Considering that the laser pulse width has effect on the experimental exposure time, we simulate the experimental exposure time varying with laser pulse width. Furthermore, the gain characteristics of the MCP are simulated, while the gating pulse width is not more than the electron transit time.…”
