43 Use of XP1452 foreseen XP mm (Active area 4x272mm2), green extended bialkaly Quantum efficiency 30% at 420nm, 20% at 550nm Size from 35mm to 50mm Next tests with XP1452 XP1452 IPNO-RDD-Jean Peyré 43

45 Conclusions 1. Collected light through long crystals is not constant. Tests with non collimated source give resolutions greater that 15%. 2. The choice of VM2000 seems obvious 3. With XP1912, it seems difficult to have a resolution better than 9%-10% at 662keV on long crystals because: a. Area covered by PMT is only 36% with 22x22 output face b. Intrinsic resolution of crystal is quite high (~4/5%) c. Photocathode is not green extended bialkaly 4. Resolution obtained with PMT XP1912 and APD are quite comparable until 3.25MeV 5. No work has been done on surface quality (polished/rough) 6. Use of XP1452 seems promising 7. Tests on LaCl 3 crystal IPNO-RDD-Jean Peyré 45
