VSiPMT（真空硅光电倍增管）是一种创新设计的混合光电探测器。这个想法是为了使用SiPM进行大检测而产生的，包括用特殊的SiPM代替经典的倍增电极链。在这种配置中，我们将光电阴极的大敏感区域与SiPM技术的性能相匹配，因此其作用类似于电子探测器，因此类似于电流放大器。VSiPMT具有良好的光子计数能力、快速响应、低功耗和稳定性等特点。原型和我们正在对其进行的初步测试。© 2017 Elsevier B.V.
The VSiPMT (Vacuum Silicon PhotoMultiplier Tube) is an innovative design for a hybrid photodetector. The idea, born with the purpose to use a SiPM for large detection volumes, consists in replacing the classical dynode chain with a special SiPM. In this configuration, we match the large sensitive area of a photocathode with the performances of the SiPM technology, which therefore acts like an electron detector and so like a current amplifier. The excellent photon counting capability, fast response, low power consumption and the stability are among the most attractive features of the VSiPMT.We now present the progress on the realization of a 1-in. prototype and the preliminary tests we are performing on it. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.
