Many activities aiming for larger/lower cost/mass-production
Quick review of only below technologies ◦ Super Bi-Alkali /Ultra Bi-Alkali
◦ Hybrid Photo-Detector
◦ Gas Photo-Multiplier
◦ Micro-PMT
Hiroyuki Sekiya NNN10 Dec 15 2010@Toyama
Do we need R&D?
R3600-05 (The 20 inch PMT) is excellent. It provided reliable detectors and actual results.
To keep the production quality of R3600-05, continues order to Hamamatsu is the best way.
We had better order 100,000 R3600-05s as soon as possible in order to get next generation water Cherenkov detectors within several years.
Hiroyuki Sekiya NNN10 Dec 15 2010@Toyama
Why do we R&D?
Because we want better photon sensors with lower price in short delivery date!
The key motivation is COST. ◦ Some strategies to reduce cost
Fewer detector with better QE
Larger photo-coverage with cheaper sensors
Simple structure for short time/mass production
etc.
Hiroyuki Sekiya NNN10 Dec 15 2010@Toyama
Pessimistic conclusion
Largest sensors cannot be applied to commercial market. Hamamatsu knows…
Novel prize does not help their sales. Hamamatsu knows…
After all, R3600-05 did not bring so much benefits to Hamamatsu.
If we develop new sensors with them, cost/area may not decrease. It’s completely up to them.
However, actually, they are always willing to develop new sensors with us and they are excellent.

5’’ SBA PMT is available →
So far, UBA is available only
for metal package PMTs
“transfer” technology is required. ◦ PC is made separately from the tube
and assembled
Not cheaper at all.

Concern? APD high dark current?

20kV too high voltage?

Hiroyuki Sekiya NNN10 Dec 15 2010@Toyama
Better than PMTs
This implies HPD is not cheaper than PMT.
We should not require everything to realize low cost??

Gas Photo-Multiplier(GPM) A kind of Hybrid detectors
Electron multiplication by gaseous avalanche.
If combined with photocathode, very large flat-panel detectors can be realized with much lower cost/area.
A weak point → Strategy of “Do not require everything”

Conclusion
There are many activities that can be applied to next generation large water Cherenkov detector.
Hybrid is also trend in photo-sensors. ◦ The 20’’ PMT is still a candidate.
◦ SBA technology is already taken into new photo-sensors.
◦ HPD is the most plausible candidate.
◦ GPM can be a dark horse.
◦ Post-next generation large sensor?
