He was born in Durban, South Africa, where he attended the University of Natal as a physics undergraduate and did postgraduate research on atmospherics generated by lightning discharges before the birth of 'health and safety.' He left South Africa in 1968 with his wife to experience life in London while studying for a Ph.D. He convinced the Electron Tube Division of EMI to employ him as an applications engineer drawing on his newly acquired knowledge of photomultipliers. About the AuthorA.G. This initiated his accumulation of expertise and
This complete and authoritative guide will provide students, practitioners, and researchers with a deeper understanding of the operating principles of these devices. The book covers other related topics such as scintillation counting, light guides, and large area detectors. All applications demand some form of electronics, the options for which are fully explored in this book.. The usually complicated subject of biasing a photomultiplier, very important for optimal performance, is reduced to a comprehensible set of calculations. In multiplying the charge produced by incident light by up
