Development of bases and qualification tests of Photomultiplier Tubes for the AugerPrime scintillation detectors

Original language description

We describe two test benches that were designed and constructed to perform a set of acceptance tests for about 1200 Photomultiplier Tube (PMT) units to be installed in the surface scintillation detectors of AugerPrime. Besides possessing robustness, long-term reliability, and low power consumption, each PMT-unit requires a dynamic range wide enough to cover signals ranging from a single to more than 20,000 minimum ionizing particles with not more than 5 % deviation from linear response. This posed a particular challenge which was met by combining a specially selected 1.5” PMT type with a custom made Cockcroft Walton type base.n
