PMTs
- PMT specs: Hamamatsu R4125, 19mm diameter, gain is about 8.7E+5 at 1.5kV max. anode voltage and rise time 2.5ns. This PMT was also used in Primex and we have designed a new active voltage divider that improves the performance of the PMT by a factor of 25. See the report at the 2012 IEEE NSS/MIC/RTSD conference by V. Popov and H. Mkrtchyan.

Dose Rate Estimates
Dose rate estimations for PbWO4 detector at 4m from target, at 1uA, and for a 10-cm long target
Scattering Chamber Information:
- outer diameter = 45 inches
- inner diameter = 43.125 inches
- distance beam line to SHMS window = 1.25 inches
So for a point target, the minimum angle is 58 mr or 3.4 degrees. For an extended target you will need to adjust, it becomes about 4 degree for a 15 cm target. So assume 3.5 degrees as rough number.

Rates and rates per crystal vs. angle relative to beam for: 4 m from target, 6.6 GeV beam energy, 1uA beam current, and 10-cm LH2 target for:
