Design and Implementation of Simplified Readout Circuits for Multi anode Position sensitive Photomultiplier Tubes

  • The multianode position sensitive photomultiplier tube(PSPMT) has been used for the development of highresolution γ camera module. This study is aimed to investigate the simplified readout design for the multianode flat panel PSPMT. Based on the Hamamatsu H8500 PSPMT with 64 multianodes, we designed and developed two simplified readout circuits, discretized positioning circuit(DPC) and symmetric charge division circuit(SCDC). The truncated centerofgravity(TCOG) positioning method was used to optimize the readout signal processing and then further reduce the readout channels by a resistor chain. The preliminary results show that the SCDC readout with the TCOG could significantly reduce the nonlinearity of positioning and improve the effective fieldofview of the detector by about 20% as compared to the DPC readout.
