<p dir="ltr">Well solid state device is usually less radiation hard than photocathode and dynodes, the low energy neutrons tend to kill the semiconductor junction.</p>

I don&#39;t know about how rad hard finemesh PMT is.<br>
here are some info including a detailed study of its gain and field dependance.<br>

&gt; Dear all:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; We had a meeting with the detector group yesterday and I have logged it in the form of EC meeting minutes:<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; Please provide comments and suggestions.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; One question I have is how do we know that fine-mesh PMTs are radiation hard?  Are there quantitative proof?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Thanks,<br>
