皮埃尔奥格天文台的水切伦科夫探测器阵列中将使用 4800 个大型光电倍增管 (PMT)。在部署之前，每个 PMT 都会经过评估，以检查各种参数（例如线性度、暗噪声和增益）是否落在指定范围内。为此设计和建造的大型测试系统能够同时测试多个大型光电倍增管。本文介绍了测试系统以及首批 3964 个 PMT 的测试结果。
In the array of water Cherenkov detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory, 4800 large photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) will be used. Before being deployed, each PMT is evaluated to check that various parameters, such as the linearity, dark noise, and gain, fall within a specified range. The large scale test system, designed and constructed for this purpose, is capable of testing multiple large PMTs simultaneously. The test system and the results of the tests for the first 3964 PMTs are presented in this paper.
