Abstract

The LHCb experiment will study the CP symmetry violation in the system of the beauty particles. The detector is a 20-m-long spectrometer, to be installed on the proton-proton collider LHC. Of major importance for the level 0 trigger is the preshower of the electromagnetic calorimeter designed to discriminate between electrons, hadrons and photons. The preshower cells consist of a two-radiation-length lead sheet located between two plastic scintillator planes. The scintillation light is extracted with wavelength-shifting fibres. The best candidates to read out the light of the 6000 detector cells are multianode photomultipliers. The HAMAMATSU photomultiplier R5900-00-M64 has been studied and its responses in terms of gain, linearity, uniformity within and between the anodes and cross-talk between the channels are addressed in this document.
