Abstract
A magnetic photomultiplier tube (PMT) system, including a PMT. The PMT including a photocathode for converting an impinging photon to a photoelectron, an anode, and at least two or a series of oppositely facing pairs of dynodes, wherein each pair is spaced apart from an adjacent pair, a first electric field being generated intermediate at least one pair of oppositely facing dynodes and a second electric field generated intermediate at least one adjacent pairs of dynodes. The PMT system includes a magnetic field generated by a magnetic system, the PMT being positioned within the magnetic field.
