摘要

Abstract

In this study, we present the large photomultiplier tube (PMT) afterpulse measurement results obtained from the Jiangmen underground neutrino observatory (JUNO) experiment. A total of 11 dynode-PMTs (R12860) from the Hamamatsu company (Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. (HPK)) and 150 micro-channel plate PMTs (MCP-PMTs, GDB-6201) from the NNVT company (North Night Vision Technology Co., Ltd. (NNVT)) were tested. Subsequently, an afterpulse model was built according to the afterpulse time distribution and the probability of occurrence for these two types of PMTs. The average ratio of the total afterpulse charge with a delay between 0.5 μ s and 20 μ s to the primary pulse charge is ∼ 5.7% (13.2%) for the tested MCPPMTs (dynode-PMTs). The JUNO experiment will deploy 20,012 20-inch PMTs; this study will benefit detector simulation, event reconstruction, and data analysis regarding the JUNO experiment.
