Several types of MCP assemblies including 2-stage and 3-stage MCPs consist of 8¿m and 12¿m channel MCP having length to diameter ratio ¿ of 40 and 60 are tested relating to the gain and pulse height resolution. The 2-stage assembly with ¿=60 MCPs was incorporated in the proximity type MCP-PMT and showed capability to separate triple photon event clearly. Furthermore, 6¿m channel MCPs in 2-stage was tested in PMT configuration and showed drastic improvement of timing property. As for the life…

TLDR
The MCP's showed no long periods of stable gain similar to those frequently exhibited by channeltrons, and the total charge per unit area Q (C-cm(-2)) extracted from the MCP is the relevant quantity for evaluating the performance of the M CP.
