Abstract

Design a surface mount 14-PIN Cockcroft-Walton photomultiplier tube base for a muon detector, which provides both high voltage power supply and signal processing. The whole system, including the detector, adopts a +5V DC power input, and features as tiny size, low power-consumption and good portability, extremely well meeting the requirements of the power supply with a battery on a mobile workstation. Detailed descriptions and test results of a prototype are presented.
