H12700是滨松公司生产的一款新型64通道52 × 52 mm2方形多阳极光电倍增管（MaPMT）。它的特点使该装置适用于高能物理应用，如环成像切伦科夫（RICH）探测器。Hamamatsu提供的H12700管带有一个嵌入式插座，将阳极连接到输出引脚，并包括一个有源分压器。第二种设备版本R12699也可用，与前者不同的是没有插座。本文描述了两个模型的完整特性，从标准工作参数（单光子光谱，平均增益，阳极均匀性和暗电流值）开始，详细研究相邻像素之间的串扰效应，并考虑在关键环境条件下的行为，例如在高达100高斯的静态磁场存在下，在不同的工作温度和长时间暴露于强光下。
The H12700 is a novel 64-channel 52 × 52 mm2 square Multi-Anode PhotoMultiplier Tube (MaPMT) produced by Hamamatsu. Its characteristics make this device suitable for high energy physics applications, such as in Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors. Hamamatsu provides the H12700 tube with an embedded socket connecting the anodes to the output pins and including an active voltage divider. A second device version, the R12699, is also available and differs from the former by the absence of the socket. This paper describes a complete characterization of both models, starting from the standard operating parameters (single photon spectra, average gain, anode uniformity and dark current value), investigating in detail the cross-talk effect among neighbouring pixels and considering the behaviour in critical environment conditions, such as in presence of a static magnetic field up to 100 Gauss, at different operating temperatures and after long exposure to intense light.
